🎯 8+ years of brand, content, and campaign work for small teams
🌐 Websites designed, built, and launched, with SEO that holds up
✉️ Email and paid social in Mailchimp, HubSpot, and Meta Ads Manager
🎨 Adobe Creative Suite and Figma, 10+ years across print and digital
📊 GA4, Search Console, and Semrush behind every recommendation
I work as the marketing department for companies too small to staff one. In practice that means owning the brand look, the website, the collateral, and the campaigns that run on top of all three, then reporting honestly on what moved and what didn't.
WHAT I DELIVER
- Brand and content: identity systems, marketing collateral, sales and case study material, website and landing page copy, print pieces from packaging to event graphics.
- Web and SEO: full site builds and launches on Squarespace, WordPress, and Shopify, plus hand-coded HTML and CSS when a template gets in the way. On-page SEO, Search Console setup, and Semrush research included.
- Email and paid social: campaign builds in Mailchimp and HubSpot, and Meta Ads Manager work across roughly five years and $20K in managed spend.
- Design: Adobe Illustrator, InDesign, Photoshop, Premiere, After Effects, Figma, and Canva, covering everything from a one-off flyer to a full visual system.
RECENT PROJECTS
- Led the marketing launch for a speech therapy practice end to end: brand identity, website, SEO, and patient-facing collateral, all built from nothing.
- Managed the rebrand of a clinical analytics startup as it moved from early stage to fully funded, reporting to the CEO and directing the outside firm that executed the identity.
- Designed vinyl album packaging for a record label client and led the Shopify store launch, including presale, shipping setup, and multiple sales channels.
- Planned marketing for eight industry conferences, covering event-specific materials, social planning, venue coordination, and support for attending staff.
HOW I WORK
I'd rather ask three good questions upfront than guess at what you meant and bill you for the revision. Expect fast replies, clear scoping before anything starts, and files delivered the way your team actually needs to use them.
You'll also see audio and music production in my job history below. That's the business I built and still run, and it's where the 100% Job Success score and Top Rated badge came from. Marketing and design have run alongside it the whole time, for my own clients and for the companies listed in my work history.
Send me a message with what you're trying to launch and I'll tell you honestly whether I'm the right fit.

I’m a seasoned creative media professional with decades of hands-on experience across regional and national commercial production, news, sports, documentaries, radio & television copywriting, and magazine publishing. After a long and successful career, I’m now semi-retired and selectively taking on projects that challenge me creatively and allow me to keep translating client ideas into polished, professional reality.
My expertise spans the full spectrum of media production:
Video production and editing (hundreds of commercials for national brands including American Express, Ruth’s Chris Steakhouse, Barq’s Root Beer, AT&T, Popeye’s, and United Way)
Documentary work (collaborated on more than three dozen documentaries, including one that received a Peabody Award)
Magazine and print publication (hundreds of print ads, dozens of magazine articles, and full magazine layout/design for publications my partner and I launched)
Professional audio production (operated a world-class recording studio creating tracks for radio, television, corporate presentations, and trade missions)
I’m highly proficient in the entire Adobe Creative Suite — Premiere Pro (10+ years), After Effects, Audition, InDesign, Photoshop, Illustrator, Bridge, Camera Raw, and Firefly — plus other AI image and video generation tools. I maintain an extensive licensed stock image library and use AI when it helps deliver faster, higher-quality results without compromising creative standards.
Whether the project calls for compelling video storytelling, clean and visually striking print design, or a combination of both, I bring a rare breadth of experience that lets me move seamlessly between disciplines. I’m known for delivering work that is on time, on budget, and exceeds expectations.
If you’re looking for a reliable, creative partner who truly understands how to turn ideas into finished products across video, graphics, and publications, I’d love to discuss your project. Feel free to browse my portfolio and let’s create something great together.

Hi, I'm Tristin Shaddon - I’m an audio engineer, musician, and guitarist based out of Colorado. I graduated from the LA Film school in October 2025 with an Associates of Science in Audio Production, where I trained in mixing, mastering, sound design, live sound, and post-production for music and media.
I am currently furthering my knowledge and working towards completing my Bachelor’s of Science in Audio Production as well!
As an engineer, I take pride in precision, depth, and musical feel. I've worked across sessions involving music production, podcast mixing, and sound restoration, combining technical knowledge with a creative ear to deliver mixes that truly translate. My goal is always the same - to make sound connect with people on a deeper level.
I'm passionate about helping artists, creators, and brands tell their stories through sound - whether it's producing a soulful guitar track, engineering a crystal-clear podcast, or shaping immersive audio for film. Every project is a chance to turn raw sound into something powerful, emotional, and unforgettable!
