Hi, I’m

Joshua Bates

Cedar Park,TX

Summary

I am Creative Video Editor that has been working with Adobe software products for 12 years. Most of my years of experience was working for myself in photography/videography. Then I started to make use of these skills to freelance, starting in 2020. My current work is editing interviews for Books on Pod. This is a podcast hosted by Trey Elling. Some of the guests to mention are Tony Hawk, Donald Glover, Sam Jones and many more. I started a digital design company this year called Forager Digital. Forager Digital was designed to create and tailor all content for brands. Forager would supply high quality video and photography depending on the package the client would choose. Then our team would distribute the brands personalized content through all social media networks. It was designed so the brand or company could focus on other aspects of business without the headache of doing it all. I enjoy challenges and I have the capabilities to edit for all kinds of industries. I am currently looking to grow with a company and gain more experience in the field.
