Meet our Incredible Team
We are a group of versatile media, design, and marketing types who love collaboration. Founded in 2003, our team has evolved from a small video production company into a midwest-centric full-service digital marketing team. We believe in Kalamazoo and are dedicated to supporting local companies and non-profits as they serve the community.

Mike Tiesenga
Filmmaker + Editor
Mike would describe himself as someone who knows a little about a lot. He loves trying new and especially strange foods, enjoys deep dive narrative podcasts and documentaries, and cares just a little too much about MIchigan football. Over all of this Mike cherishes the adventures of everyday life with his wife and two kids, and probably has a kids song stuck in his head right now.
