PERSONAL BRAND EXPLORATION


Camryn Salinas


Project & Portfolio I: Week 1


April 7th, 2022
My name is Camryn Salinas and to put it simply,
I create. I’ve always been observant, so I tend to
collect what I see and feel through media. I
create videos of my life and the different phases
I go through, I paint the same chaotic theme I’ve
been painting everyday for the past two years,
and I cannot go a day without incorporating
music into everything I do. I wish to follow my
curiosity through life and the music industry;
allowing myself to break the barriers, to create
and help others create. I will take any
opportunity that allows me to help bring a vision
to life.

You know…creating content as a busy band can be
overwhelming. Well, what if I told you, I could create that content for you. In fact, I
can take videos and edit footage of your concerts, as well as make reels of how
you do your unique thing as a band and upload them to your social medias.
