WE
ARE
ALLIED
We Are Allied
Allied started in 2014 as a scrappy alliance between a few restless creatives. The team shifted, the work evolved, but these days, it’s Allecia and I at the core. We were collaborators before anything else; just two artists pulled together by late nights, weird art experiments, and an unspoken agreement to make things that mattered. She taught me Photoshop. I taught her how to light a scene. Somewhere along the way, we made it official, but the collaboration came first.
Between us, we handle most of what you see. I do a lot of the preproduction and directing, shoot interviews, take the stills, and ask the questions. Allecia runs audio, edits the photos & videos, flies the drone, and brings the visuals to life in post with her wizard-level motion graphics and design work.
We’re not a “his and hers” team; we’re a unit. No ego, just output.
Before Allied, I was a painter, a batik artist, a horror movie director, a music video kid with a camera and a lot of ideas. I met one of the original co-founders on the set of a no-budget splatter film. We started off chasing narrative projects. Turns out, our clients started chasing us for our eye, our instincts, and our way of cutting through the noise.
These days, we work with trusted collaborators on a project-by-project basis. We scale up when needed, calling on pros from LA or overseas when a project demands it. We’ve been around the block enough to know who to call, and we bring that firepower without the attitude.
Everything we do is rooted in honesty, craft, and creative intuition. We don’t have a gimmick. We just listen hard, work smart, and make things that feel true.
