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.
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.
How we like to work.
Coffee before code
Every project starts with a real conversation about your business, not a form and a price list.
Story first
Before we design a page or roll a camera, we figure out what makes you worth choosing.
Bilingual by default
The Valley speaks English and Spanish, so your website and your videos can too.
Here for the long haul
We stick around after launch with care plans, updates and fresh ideas.
The tools behind the work.
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.
