ABOUT ME

Luke McLaughlin

I have experience in both content creation and production, having worked on a variety of projects including television shows, podcasts, and photo/video shoots. I’m passionate about telling engaging stories through video and multimedia, while bringing strong organizational and project management skills from my production background. I excel at coordinating logistics, communicating effectively with team members and clients, and ensuring a seamless experience for talent and collaborators. I consistently deliver high-quality work under tight deadlines and am comfortable wearing multiple hats to support both creative and operational needs.

Based in Westerville, Ohio, I’m pursuing freelance opportunities as well as full-time roles, and I’m open to relocating for the right position.
