Our Story
For You To See is built on a foundation of resilience, hustle, and the art of exchanging value. Our journey isn’t just about creativity. It’s about finding ways to make things happen, even when the odds are stacked against us.
It all started with a vision: to empower creatives and provide top-tier media production services that inspire, connect, and elevate. But the road here hasn’t been smooth. After losing over $10,000 worth of equipment, including two cameras, lenses, a laptop, a gimbal, monitors, mics, and even some completed projects ready to deliver, I found myself at rock bottom. Instead of giving up, I made a choice: to rebuild from the ground up, piece by piece, connection by connection.
In those early days, I learned how to finesse the system, not by cutting corners, but by exchanging value. I’d shoot at studios for free, not for money, but for the chance to build my portfolio with studio-quality photos. I’d offer my media production expertise to people who owned resources or spaces that were just as beneficial to me as my skills were to them. It wasn’t just about surviving; it was about thriving through collaboration and mutual respect.
That mindset became the backbone of IVUIIC. Today, we’re more than just a media production company. We’re a community built on relationships, hard work, and the belief that creativity can be a tool for transformation. We’ve gone from rebuilding lost equipment to equipping other creatives with the tools and opportunities they need to succeed.
Our story is about persistence, adaptability, and the power of seeing potential where others might not. It’s about creating a platform where creatives can rewrite their narratives, just like we’ve rewritten ours.
IVUIIC isn’t just about producing content, it’s about creating connections, empowering artists, and showing that no matter what you lose, your vision and determination can’t be taken away.
This is our journey, and it’s proof that with the right mindset, anything is possible.
An Alternative Path to Success
At IVUIIC, we believe in creating a direct and accessible path to success in photography, videography, business, and web development, without the heavy financial burden of traditional schooling. Our program offers an exclusive alternative that equips you with the skills, knowledge, and real-world experience to thrive in these competitive industries.
The idea for this program was born from my first experience at the Los Angeles Film School. I walked in ready to take my craft to the next level, excited to study photography and elevate my already existing service business. After a full tour, I was inspired. I walked through studios filled with high-level equipment, saw real-life recording sessions in action, and envisioned myself using those tools to build my future. But my excitement was short-lived. When I was told that tuition would be $90,000, it became clear that, no matter how deep I looked into my pockets, that dream wasn’t financially possible for me.
That experience taught me two things: first, how important it is to have access to professional resources and training to succeed; and second, that the cost of education shouldn’t keep talented, hardworking creatives from reaching their full potential.
That’s why I created IVUIIC's workshops and certification programs.
