I’m Mark Joshua Cortez, a Communication graduate from Davao del Norte State College who finished with honors (Cum Laude). As a passionate and multi-skilled creative, I’ve gained hands-on experience in video editing, graphic design, reporting, and scriptwriting through internships in local government offices and media outlets. These opportunities shaped my love for visual storytelling and content creation that informs, connects, and inspires. What makes me stand out is my rare mix of creative skill, practical experience, and a people-centered mindset. I take pride in being “strategically lazy,” always looking for smart, efficient solutions that improve both my workflow and client satisfaction. I believe in creating with purpose—telling stories that matter and delivering visuals that make an impact. Grounded in the values of humility, hard work, and authenticity, I bring dedication, versatility, and thoughtful execution to every project I take on.
