Wrecked Refrains
Independent Multimedia Storytelling Project
Wrecked Refrains is an ongoing creative project built around original lyric writing, music production, and video creation. Most songs begin as lyrics I personally write and develop, often inspired by specific themes, stories, or emotional concepts. Using an iterative AI-assisted workflow, I guide the musical style, structure, tone, and arrangement through multiple rounds of refinement until the finished piece aligns with the original creative vision.
For each release, I also create and edit accompanying video content, selecting and assembling visual elements to support the narrative and emotional impact of the song.
The project combines creative writing, multimedia production, AI-assisted content development, and audience-centered storytelling.
Transferable Skills:
• Creative writing and lyric development

“Beautifully Broken”
An original multimedia storytelling project exploring the idea that human beings are shaped as much by their wounds as by their strengths. Beginning with self-authored lyrics, the piece examines themes of vulnerability, resilience, connection, and the ways people carry emotional scars while continuing to grow and love.
I guided the creative direction, refined the music through an iterative AI-assisted workflow, selected visual assets, and edited the final video.
The fractured-glass imagery serves as a visual metaphor for the song's central message: our scars and struggles often become part of what makes us beautiful.
“Great Loves”
An original multimedia storytelling project exploring the complexity of human relationships and the enduring impact of life-changing decisions. Beginning with self-authored lyrics, the piece examines themes of love, longing, responsibility, and the tension between obligation and desire.
I guided the creative direction, refined the music through an iterative AI-assisted workflow, selected visual assets, and edited the final video to create a cohesive narrative experience.
The visual storytelling supports the song's central message: that our greatest loves often become the stories we carry with us long after the moment has passed.
“The Mask”
An original multimedia storytelling project exploring identity, vulnerability, and the emotional cost of maintaining the versions of ourselves we present to others. Beginning with self-authored lyrics, the piece examines themes of self-protection, authenticity, and the fear of being truly seen.
I guided the creative direction, refined the music through an iterative AI-assisted workflow, selected visual assets, and edited the final video to support the song's emotional progression.
The recurring mask imagery serves as a visual metaphor for the barriers people construct to protect themselves and the uncertainty that comes when those barriers begin to fall away.
