Graydaughter Creative works directly with clients and agencies to develop compelling creative & strategy, helping lifestyle-driven music, entertainment, and consumer brands meaningfully connect with their audiences through an array of services spanning strategy consultation, art direction, and production of campaign-ready photo & video assets optimized for multichannel distribution.
Uniquely perched at the intersection of creative production, marketing, advertising, event curation, and experiential design, Graydaughter Creative tactically marries a rich array of experience and skills well adapted to support a dynamic range of needs from creative strategy, project management, and production on a by-project basis.
Grayson has produced, directed, captured, and contributed to brand creative across photo, video, and independent film productions spanning the music + culture, CPG, food + bev, fashion, beauty, automotive, active and alternative lifestyle spaces.
As a photo-video art director, she relays visual narratives through still 35mm film + super 8mm motion film, as well as digital photo + video.
She's most passionate about work that honors collective introspection, venerates human drive and self-determination, celebrates passions and community, questions conventional boundaries, embraces and explores subcultural identities, and empowers evocative creativity.
