Director, videographer, and photographer building Misfits Labs. Former tech CMO named to Chicago’s 25 Under 25. Notre Dame alum. After studying Marketing and Photography at the University of Notre Dame, I spent six years as Chief Marketing Officer at venture-backed tech company Resonado, where I led branding, marketing, and design strategy for hardware audio technology innovations across consumer and defense sectors. During that time, I was recognized as one of Chicago’s 25 Under 25 innovation leaders to watch. In 2023, I leveraged that experience to found Misfits Labs — a creative practice dedicated to strategically distilling concepts into high-impact cinematic visual mediums for brands, artists, and businesses.

I’m a Chicago-based Creative Media Producer specializing in full-scale video production. I work with clients big and small, across a wide range of industries and creative styles. To me, media production is all the same behind the lens — it’s about storytelling, precision, and emotion, no matter the subject. Over the past eight years, I’ve created work that spans clickfunnel campaigns, brand events, weddings, and lifestyle projects. Whether you need photo, video, or drone coverage for an individual project, or want to have a high-level conversation about your brand’s media strategy, I can meet you where you are. And if it’s a wedding or milestone moment, my company Ageless Media is here to capture it with meaning and artistry. My process covers every stage of creative development — from brand lookbooks and identity workshops, shoot storyboarding, and script writing, to wardrobe consulting, on-site production, delivery coaching, post-production editing, and the launch of paid and organic campaigns. Every step is intentional, designed to turn ideas into complete visual systems that perform. I also collaborate with a trusted team of specialists to ensure every project reaches its full creative and technical potential. I’ve led creative teams of videographers, editors, designers, animators, and copywriters, managing projects from concept to completion. On-site, I’ve directed large-scale conferences, brand shoots, and event productions that balance cinematic visuals with clear strategic purpose.

Hello All! My name is Kendall Hill, and I am a freelance photographer, writer, and events curator based between Chicago and Milan and open to work in both America and Europe. At the core, I love visual language and I'm passionate about telling stories.

I am the former Art Programs Coordinator for the Chicago Public Schools District, where I specialized in curating our visual art events and large-scale festivals. I also have created my own events throughout Chicago, throwing an annual block party (called Angel's Lane) every August in my homeotnw where thousands of people attend. As a photographer and videographer, I have worked up and down the line. I have assisted on major brand shoots and fashion marketing campaigns, as well as being the lead on event documentation, long-form storytelling, and my own creative projects made with collaborators around America. I have worked in Los Angeles, Austin, NYC, and of course - Chicago. I am currently an Artist In Residence in Milan at the Via Farini VIR program, housed in the city's major cultural institution Fabbrica Del Vapore. I am currently working on new photography projects at the resdiency, and working part time as a copywriter for a worldwide marketing agency that promotes concerts and tours from major artists performing throughout the USA.
