Michael Nguyen

Content developer and video producer with six years turning complex subject matter into short-form video people actually finish: scripting, screen-friendly visuals, motion graphics, and clean edits. Before that I ran a coaching business where I trained the trainers, so instruction is familiar ground. Statistics degree, and AI tools are part of my daily production workflow.

Founder & Director at MNguyenFoto (2020-09 – Present)

Video production & content studio

• Produce video end to end for clients, from concept and script through shoot, edit, and delivery, with a heavy emphasis on making dense subject matter clear and watchable.
• Write scripts and structure content so complex topics land with a general audience: story order, pacing, onscreen text, and motion graphics built in After Effects.
• Work remotely with clients through the full lifecycle: kickoff, drafts, structured feedback rounds, and final delivery, usually on several projects at once.
• Clients include Northwestern University, University of Illinois Chicago, FPT Telecom, and Meliá Vinpearl. Selected work: FTI18 brand film (FPT Telecom), Yonex VCORE 100 product shoot, Torras QStand product video.
