I was born & raised in Jefferson County, New York. I've always had a deep-rooted love for tech and creativity. It all started back in 2015 when I subscribed to Photoshop, then in high school where I discovered graphic design and photography even more-so through working on the yearbook/photography class. Those experiences stuck with me—a need to capture moments, create visuals, and bring ideas to life.

Graduating high school in 2021, coming out of Covid-19, I didn't feel like photography would be reliable investment for my time. So I studied business administration at college, where I gained insight into the world of entrepreneurship and local marketing while taking some photography courses. When I got out of college I landed my first sales job and still tried to apply graphic design, I realized my passion lied elsewhere.

That’s when I realized I could combine both sides of my brain—creative and strategic—to help people tell their stories and grow their brands. /zacharysmedia is where that vision lives.

I originally started NNY Marketing LLC just to market local small businesses, now I'm back to capturing permanent memories for people, and get to help businesses thrive. This isn’t just about content—it’s about capturing the purpose behind whatever media I create. I’m passionate about working with individuals, artists, other creatives and small businesses to create media that’s authentic, impactful, and truly unique.

If you're looking to bring an idea to life, need standout visuals, or just want to tell your story in a fresh way, I’m here for it. Let’s make something awesome.
