Most viral post: A video of me transforming an orange bob into a perfect beach bob. I think it went viral because of the difference in tone, but also the music with the client looking so happy.
Favorite apps: Preview, iMovie and Videoshop. Preview helps me keep track of how well I’m doing, and the other video ones make it easy to create great movies for content.
