Starkey Hearing – Omega AI
2025I'm excited to share a new campaign created for Starkey, highlighting the stories of three remarkable individuals who use hearing aids in their everyday lives.
Over 10 days in Northern California’s Marin County, my team captured a wide library of stills and three short documentaries designed to bring these personal stories to life. Our creative approach was rooted in the real interests of our talent. Every location and activity was shaped around their lives and passions.
From a golden sunset atop Mount Tam on day one, to a quiet coastal sunrise on our final shoot – the landscapes provided a cinematic backdrop to explore the human side of hearing technology.
Huge thanks to Starkey for trusting me once again to help launch their newest flagship product. It's always fascinating to learn about the tech, and even more rewarding to see how it's transforming real lives.
