Nel
A Creative Force
with over 25 years of experience
I conceptualize fresh Creative, Editorial & Motion Design for a variety of clients in the Broadcast and Entertainment Industries. Companies like; Fitbit, ESL Gaming, American Airlines, The Weather Channel. Music Artists; J.Lo, Pitbull, Birdman, Juvenile, Lil Wayne, and more. Extensive experience with major Advertising Agencies/Post Houses; Ackerman McQueen, FleishmanHillard, Hothaus Creative, and Throttle Post. High-quality, on-brand video content across social, web and broadcast platforms.
My unique style and abilities continue to raise the quality and brand recognition of my clients. Faster production turn-around leading to increased revenue. Not only do I create award-winning content, but I also create and implement complete creative workflows that help streamline production. File management is key on a tight deadline. A consistent track record as a Leader, Mentor, and Innovator. I’m set up for remote work and have scalable infrastructure to meet most production needs. Pushing pixels is what I do. Let’s get to work!

John David Finegan - Director of Operations - Ascot & Heart
“I hired Nel for an on site video shoot and edit during a Vintage auto race in Watkins Glen. He traveled across country with his own gear and accompanied a team of shooters, mechanics and drivers for the week. Throughout the trip Nel produced outstanding content and brought a level of professionalism to the team while providing support and advice for novice team members. After the race his editing and post production skills shined! I would recommend Nel as a shooter, producer and editor for any project.”

“Nel is one of the most reliable and dedicated people I know. He strives to do his absolute best for his supervisors, his clients and his team and takes each assignment very seriously. Nel is a great team player. He knows how to get things done in timely manner, and in a way that pleases all parties. He’s excellent at building and maintaining relationships and he’s well versed in the creative world.
I’ve worked alongside Nel Santiago for the past 10 years on several Commercial Campaigns, Web Series Originals for NRA.TV and recently Esports activation for major gaming developers. He’s always one to have the added creative input, especially when it’s a visual impacting story.
Nel’s attitude and work ethic always made him the stand out! I would work with him again in a minute.”
