Dustin Fedako

Let’s make something great.

I’m a Content Director and Creative Producer with 10 years experience developing & delivering impactful digital content for mission-driven brands. Equal parts orchestrator and creative, I love to lead teams to tell good stories with the right media. My work as a storyteller has taken me around the world, managing end-to-end productions in ten states & half a dozen countries to cover subjects at the highest levels of entertainment, business, and art.

Where do I come from? Born in Germany, I lived five places before my thirteenth birthday. I played competitive high school basketball and studied Behavioral Neuroscience at UT Austin. After college, I founded a startup that used electric bikes to turn food scraps into community gardens. I spent the next four years running all aspects of video production for an award-winning agency in Austin, Texas before joining Forager Collective to produce national campaigns for brands like Twitter, Spotify, and Under Armour. Currently working as a Content Director at Freethink Media, directing sponsored short docs about change-makers and social entrepreneurs.

In my free time I like to map lesser-known trails around central Texas, play the drums, and mail off handmade greeting cards to friends. You can find me hanging out with my wife & border collie pup in our backyard garden, planning my next multi-day kayaking adventure.

“My confidence soars when Dustin is at the wheel. Not only do I know we will complete the project quickly, but we will pour everything we have into it, because that’s what he does. He leads by example and makes everyone who works with him better. He's everything you could ask for in a leader, motivating all who work with him to give their best, because he does, without fail.”

— Zachary Parks Grigg, Editor

I've had the pleasure of working with Dustin over the past two years and supported him in developing 200+ video deliverables. Dustin is a professional when it comes to creative direction and execution. His clear vision, communication, eye to detail, leadership, and agility produces high-quality work. Every client we've worked with has been pleased with the result, and I attribute it to Dustin's expertise, artistry, and strong work ethic.
