¡hola!

Hi, I’m Rick.

I started Messenger Studio to help the businesses, churches and community groups around me show up online the way they deserve.

I am a filmmaker and designer based in Madera. I shoot on cinema cameras, build websites that work, and do it all in English and Spanish. I am also finishing a Master’s in Strategic Communication, so the pretty stuff always has a plan behind it.

Rick, behind the camera

Messenger Studio started with a simple idea: the small businesses, churches and community groups of the Central Valley deserve the same quality of storytelling as the big brands. So we bring cinema cameras, real design and plain talk to the people next door.

what we believe

How we like to work.

01

Coffee before code

Every project starts with a real conversation about your business, not a form and a price list.

02

Story first

Before we design a page or roll a camera, we figure out what makes you worth choosing.

03

Bilingual by default

The Valley speaks English and Spanish, so your website and your videos can too.

04

Here for the long haul

We stick around after launch with care plans, updates and fresh ideas.

Let’s make something good.

Tell us about your business and what you have in mind. We will come back with ideas, not a sales pitch.
