Hey Everyone!
My name is Clayton, I'm a 23 year-old content creator based out of Carlsbad, CA. I'm a University of Utah alumni, and love all things sports and outdoor related. I have been fortunate enough to spend nearly a decade exploring the worlds of photography, videography, graphic design, etc, which ultimately led me to pursue a career in content creation.
During my sophomore year of high school I started working at a local startup called LIGHT Helmets, a company building next-generation football helmets. I was assembling helmets on the line, but I got a close look at how a small brand actually markets itself, and that pulled me toward marketing and advertising in college. I came back for a summer as a Marketing Intern, working with the VP of Marketing and CEO on startup-scale strategy, and returned again as Creative Content Manager.
I have been in that role full time since 2023, and today I am the entire creative department. That means I shoot and edit all of our photo and video, design our campaigns, packaging, and sales collateral, build 3D product renders and animations in KeyShot and Blender, and run every social channel we are on. Most recently I produced our 2027 product catalog from the first flatplan through the shoot itself, directing five athletes across studio and outdoor sets. Along the way I have grown LIGHT's following several times over and helped build a real community of players, parents, coaches, and fans around the brand.
Almost none of those skills were assigned to me. I taught myself 3D, design, and motion work because I like every part of being a creative, not just the part I was hired for. Outside of LIGHT I shoot golf, football, motocross, surf, lifestyle, and cars.
If you are looking for someone to shoot, cut, and build something with you, feel free to reach out.
