"ISDesigns was born out of my passion for visual stories.

At the age of sixteen I spent my first paycheck on a VHS camcorder, which was probably the trail marker event, which later set my career on its path. 

Prior to launching ISDesigns, I was frequently involved in the local independent filmmaking community, doing sound and camera work, as well as story development.

At the time I was working in bronze castings and metal fabrications, and I often carried sketch

books full of concepts, illustrations and amazing doodles with me.

​

My career in bronze sculpture and fine art took me on my journey from Germany to California.

In Berkeley, I wanted to take my passion to the next level, and trained to become a professional digital filmmaker and multimedia artist.

My early work was influenced by my admiration for 'Noire' filmmaking of the 1940s and the early works of French filmmaker Michel Gondry. I since earned credit as cinematographer for short films and features, and was part of an award-winning team as cinematographer for a locally produced documentary short film. I also earned credit on the Academy Award nominated documentary "Daniel Ellsberg and the Pentagon Papers."

 

With growing portfolio and equipment lists, I was finally able to pursue my dream in combining personal storytelling with professional outreach to the public. Noticing the up-shift in the video trend for local businesses, I started the foundation for ISDesigns in 2006.

 

Today, ISDesigns has evolved to serve a world-wide clientele. Our brand means quality to customers in Europe, Canada, India, China, Brazil and across the continental U.S.

From corporate sectors to small businesses and start-ups, and individuals."
