What our clients are saying

– Cameron Shaw, Executive Director, California African American Museum

“CAAM relies on HRDWRKER to capture all kinds of special moments at the Museum—artist talks to family workshops, from openings teeming with thousands of visitors to one-on-one interviews with exhibition curators. HRDWRKER's contributions are critical to the Museum’s outreach and documentation.”
– Jason Foster, President & COO, Destination Crenshaw

Working with HRDWRKER has elevated our storytelling abilities at Destination Crenshaw and allowed us to highlight the Black businesses along Crenshaw that make this community what it is. They are a one-stop-shop that frees our team from having to coordinate or worry about the finished product. The videos speak for themselves!”
