Michael Ori

Founder/Director

I can make any camera sing, but I prefer the click of Canon.
— M. Ori

Anyone can write, hit the record button, call action, edit, color grade, and export a product. But what sets the good apart from the great is the creative process.

I am a firm believer that you cannot create art without love and it's impossible to know what love is without pain. The first thing I do, whether I’m interviewing someone, shooting a portrait or conducting a creative writing exercise, is to put myself in your shoes. I envision all of the pain and happiness, all of the smiles and cries that have brought you here before me. I dive deep into who you are and what your brand means to you, then and only then I can truly tell your story.

 
 
 
 

Shadna Aum

Freelance Designer/Creative

The apocalypse sucks, but at least we have Netflix.
— S. Aum
 

I’m an artist at heart and a designer by trade. I love solving the challenges brands face with incorporating good design. Not only does it enhance your image externally, but internally as well. Who doesn’t want to be proud of their brand?

I began my career in design in 2007 after I failed to launch my own art gallery, so I took my creative skills into the design world where I helped struggling companies thrive in a bear market. It truely is amazing what good design can do for a brand. Can’t wait to sink my teeth into yours!

Dan Tetzl

Freelance Designer/Web Developer

You first have to learn the rules so you can properly break them.
— D. Tetzl

I have always been a combination of Left Brain + Right Brain, creativity mixed with strategy, analytics and curiosity of why people do the things they do. Web Design/Development and UI/UX was just a natural fit for me. Fluent in sarcasm. Want to know more about me? Buy me a drink first.

Giving back to our community is a huge part of our culture at Ori Media.
— Michael Ori
 

Contributing to our community is very important to everyone on the Ori Media staff. We've done everything from shoot videos to brand after-school programs, all free of charge. We understand how important it is to help the community we are a part of. When the Ori Team hears about a worthwhile cause, we get inspired to use our platform and skills to do everything we can to spread awareness. It's not unusual for us to become so passionate about a project that we forget about everything else on our to-do list until we have contributed in some way.

To merely observe your culture without contributing to it seems very close to existing as a ghost.
