FREELANCE MEDIA SERVICES
I'm a content creator with 10 years of experience (outside of traditional media industry) creating comics and videos for an online audience. I also have an electrical qualification, a BA(hons) in animation and character design, and training in virtual production and mocap. I am also currently learning coding!
I am a generalist with a broad skill set (as I am used to doing every part of my own productions end-to-end), so I'm able to help out in a variety of roles and departments.
​
Feel free to have a look at my photography insta and portfolio page and find more info on my services and rates below.
AVAILABILITY
I'm currently retraining in the tech sector, but available to local media industry* for short, paid, local projects that won't interfere with my day job or personal projects.
I am not available on super-short notice, so please give me at least a week's notice of your project.
​
I'm based in Salford, Manchester (M5) and available across the Greater Manchester area and remotely.
If you would like to hire me and my skillset for anything, please do let me know by emailing me at dkettchen@gmail.com
*Terms of service/Please be mindful:
-
I do not work for free or less than I'm worth.
-
I will not give up financial/job security for a sector that can't offer me a proper replacement.
-
As an established online creator, my image, reputation, loyalty, and audience are not for sale.
-
Hiring me does not make me your brand ambassador nor will I promote your company/project under my name/to my audience.
-
I will not censor myself or compromise my own content, values, or advocacy for you.
-
I will not be starring in any of your content unless specifically agreed otherwise beforehand.
-
-
I can't work for you if you are not open to change, including radical change that questions the status quo where needed. As an alternative creator, advocate, and technician, innovation is my work's lifeblood, and as a marginalised person and vulnerable adult it is an access and safeguarding need.

If you'd like to learn more about safeguarding vulnerable adults, this gov.uk article is very useful and gives more concrete examples of what can make people at risk than the law itself: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/vulnerabilities-applying-all-our-health/vulnerabilities-applying-all-our-health
