About Amber G.

Hello! I’m Amber Genuske, a video and photo producer and journalist based in Austin, Texas. I co-own Red Riding Hood Productions, a women-run production company creating content for people, brands, and media outlets. Short-form nonfiction video is my jam, though I am a one-stop-shop for video and photo production and love getting my hands dirty in every step of the storytelling process. I have 8 years of experience producing for organizations like The Huffington Post, Texas Monthly Magazine, and Crave. I enjoy my work, am reliable and flexible, love me some tight deadlines, and have that Texas-bred kindness to boot.

About Lonna D.

I’m a journalist and a writer. I've got facts when you need them. I'm creative when it counts. I specialize in human-interest stories, long-form nonfiction, magazine writing, profiles and ghostwriting. I speak to the experts, read the reports, analyze the data and make sense of it all. I go beyond the 24-hour news cycle to write stories from the undercurrent. I lead with curiosity and ask what is necessary. The result is a story where the numbers have meaning, the names have faces and the issues are real. From a superstitious mortuary beautician in Harlem, N.Y. to discovering the same under-performing companies win healthcare contracts in Bangladesh, my breadth of work highlights my knack for immersive writing and data journalism. My work has appeared in Columbia Journalism Review, IB Times, Narratively, Houstonia, TakePart and GOOD. As a writer and communications specialist, my expertise and services include professional writing like proposals, presentations, communication plans, marketing and website content, and copy editing. I never turn down an adventure, and most of my travels have been planned on a whim. My latest exploration: Buddhist temples in Shanghai and Hangzhou, China. I have a master's degree in Journalism from Columbia University and a bachelor's degree in Communications Management and Design from Ithaca College. It won’t write itself, so send it my way.

Currently at The University of Houston studying Broadcast/ Journalism, writing has always been my greater attribute. I've had the opportunity to interview NFL players, the top Houston high school athletes, mayor candidate runners, city council members, business owners and Houstonians. Living in the heart of Montrose, a community known for it's lively personality puts me in environment that allows me to be close to a lot of entertaining events. Interacting with Houstonians in all communities to assure I deliver a good article to my readers is not a chore but a privilege I enjoy doing.
