About

I’m Michael Martinez, a freelance content creator, social media editor, and designer based in Santa Rosa. I turn client photos, footage, and brand assets into scroll-stopping Reels, TikToks, carousels, static posts, and Stories—plus the hooks, captions, and calls to action that help them perform.

I manage calendars end-to-end, handle approvals and revisions, and keep publishing organized across multiple brands. I also use generative AI tools daily to speed up concepting and production while maintaining a polished, lifestyle-friendly brand feel—backed by 7+ years of professional design experience and a track record of measurable growth for arts and community organizations.
