North Ocean Studio is a creative partnership built on two decades of experience—and a shared love for storytelling that’s both strategic and beautifully crafted.
Chad founded Blue Dog Media Inc. in 2005 and has spent the last 20+ years producing high-quality video and photography for brands, events, publications, travel/tourism, high-end real estate and social campaigns. He’s directed and shot everything from national commercials to intimate brand stories, with a knack for capturing content that connects—on screen and off.
Andrea brings 20 years of experience in the advertising world, working in digital strategy, branded content, social media, podcast development, editorial storytelling, and experiential events for start-ups and nationally recognized brands. Her background has evolved into consulting with businesses both big and small—helping them refine their websites, elevate their social presence, and build a cohesive brand strategy that drives growth.
Together, we bring a thoughtful, hands-on approach to every project—merging creative vision with marketing insight to help modern businesses grow with clarity and confidence.
Chad is a laid-back creative with a love for sports, cinema, and indie music. He grew up traveling through Southeast Asia, has family in Thailand, and loves spending time with his two kids when he’s not behind the camera.
Andrea lives for a good karaoke night, a great playlist, the perfect rom-com and cuddles from her kids. She’s known to fall down TikTok rabbit holes for beauty tips and content inspo—and she’s never met a charcuterie board she didn’t love.
