Humble Design: Short Documentary

Produced for Naturepedic to celebrate Giving Tuesday 2024, this short documentary highlights the company’s $25,000 mattress donation to Humble Design Cleveland. Instead of focusing on the donation itself, the film centers on the people it reaches—families transitioning out of homelessness and the staff who help them rebuild. Through intimate moments and grounded storytelling, the piece reveals how thoughtful support can create comfort, stability, and a true sense of home.

I directed and executed the shoot as a one-man crew, managing lighting, cinematography, and interviews, including high-emotion moments as families saw their furnished homes for the first time. I also completed full post-production, shaping interviews and reveal moments into a narrative that balances human-centered storytelling with corporate impact.
