Project Notes

Chrisby — Director & Photographer

I’m a commercial creative director and photographer based in Phoenix, Arizona, with 7+ years in photo and video production and 7 years in marketing and content strategy. I direct commercials, brand films, and editorial and social photography at a premium level, leading the creative vision while a full production team brings it to life on set and in post.

My rule for taking on work is simple: the project has to genuinely interest me and light up my creative brain. That is when clients get my strongest creative direction, and a set that runs calm, focused, and on time.

What I Do

The Production Team

Through SimonCreativeHouse, every production is backed by a complete crew: directors, a director’s assistant with Hollywood experience, camera operators, gaffers, and dedicated video and photo editors. That depth is what makes a shoot feel premium, from the first brief to final delivery.

We also use AI to further enhance content creation, strengthening concepts in pre-production and opening up more polished variations in post, always in service of the creative.
