Saphiris Media was born out of pure creative curiosity. I grew up in a small mountain town where entertainment wasn’t handed to us—we had to make our own magic. My friends and I would stage photoshoots for fun, back in the early days of MySpace. Without knowing it, I was already stepping into the role of creative director. I taught myself Photoshop just by playing, and those early experiments laid the groundwork for what would eventually become a lifelong career in storytelling.

By my third year at Cal Poly SLO, I landed my first editing job with renowned wedding photographer Allyson Magda, who took a chance on me and became an early mentor. Working with her, I refined my craft editing iconic moments—including Mark Zuckerberg’s surprise wedding. That experience gave me the confidence to leap, and in 2012, I moved to Los Angeles with a camera in one hand and big dreams in the other.

I started by saying yes to everything—second shooting, editing, volunteering, hustling—and by 2015, I founded my own production company. By 2019, I was creating content full-time for brands I admired. My first international shoot took me to Bali, and I haven’t stopped since—filming and photographing in Morocco, Paris, Peru, Spain, England, and, Egypt.

Today, Saphiris Media is a reflection of that journey and everything I’ve learned along the way. We are a boutique creative agency with three core arms: Production, Social Media, and Strategy. We specialize in working with visionary leaders in the fields of health, wellness, spirituality, and beauty.

Whether we're directing a multi-day retreat in the jungle, launching a conscious brand on social, or crafting a strategy that honors both impact and intuition—our work is rooted in authenticity, artistry, and alignment.

After nearly a decade in business, one thing remains true: we’re here to elevate the voices and visions that are here to change the world.
