Who’s Maxwell?

Hi! I’m Max. I am a media professional with a bachelor’s degree in media arts from the University of Montana. I have experience producing high-quality content for MontanaPBS and working remotely for a small startup called Verve Consulting in Colorado and New York. I do video production, storytelling, and visual design, with hands-on work in editing, camera operation, and team coordination. I previously worked in fast-paced kitchen environments, where I developed skills in communication, adaptability, and attention to detail. I am passionate about creating a positive impact on those around me and managing the moving parts of production with clarity and efficiency.
