the person behind the period

Justin Reifeis.

I'm a creator whose work spans audio production, film, and digital storytelling. I study Marketing and Television & Digital Media Production at Ferris State University — a combination that gives me both the strategic lens and the creative tools to build things that matter.

I believe in creating content that is genuine and representative of people and their stories, rather than creating corporate content. Every project is an opportunity to connect someone's voice to the people who need to hear it.

Outside of academics, I run Youngin' Productions LLC — an audio production venture born from years of beat-making, mixing, and mastering — and serve as Chairman of Campus Connect Live, Ferris State's student-run broadcast show.

"I don't need you to hear my name. I need you to feel my work."
