My name is Mason Cruz, and I am a senior at the University of Oregon. I’ve spent the last few years creating cinematic visuals across Portland and Eugene, building a foundation in videography and photography. I’m now moving deeper into art direction, learning how to connect visuals with strategy, emotion, and brand purpose. I hope to explore how thoughtful creative direction can make stories resonate.
