FEATURED STORY
Mona Foundation:
Partner stories from 11 countries
Traveling with the Mona team to the educational partners they support, I shot thousands of photos and hundreds of hours of video, and turned them into films, donor stories and years of content.
Small crew. Big-agency quality. No big-agency overhead.
"Working with the Make Beautiful team was beyond wonderful. It was like building something magical and beautiful with people who quickly became friends. Through their close collaboration and tight cycles of production, we not only got a gorgeous product, but learned together about what the story was, where the hang ups existed, etc... in ways that enriched our overall strategy. What they produced was beyond beautiful - it captured the spirit and magic contained within these beautiful individuals we got to support. I'm so proud of what was created and grateful to have been shaped and informed by the beautiful work we got to do together."
Christina Quattrochi, CKQ Consutling
"We've worked with Kelly and Make Beautiful for several video productions. He does an amazing job creating the final product and is always happy to help every step of the way. His involvement makes the daunting task of creating emotional, yet educational videos easy and fun."
Claire Lee, Sr. Marketing, Wonderland Kids
"Working with Kelly and Rachel at Make Beautiful was the smoothest experience you can ask for. They adapted quickly to our needs, were sensitive and professional during times that required discretion, and captured beautiful video, audio, and stills of our event. We look forward to working with them again!"

I've spent years filming classrooms in Sierra Leone, farms in Colombia and dance floors in Chattanooga.
