Bio
Monica Franzen
Austin's production of the 2013 Senior Class Gift youtube video was a major asset to our UW campaign. Even with harsh time constraints, he thoughtfully managed the ideas and suggestions of the leadership council and project manager, and produced a quality product. His professionalism and candor allowed for succesful branding and messaging, as we've seen from the responses of viewers. The video was sent out to appoximately 9000 seniors on our Seattle campus, and we couldn't be more proud of the result. I definitely recommend his services!
