Who I am.

  • Videography & Editing
  • Photography
  • Social Strategy
  • Graphic Design
  • Brand & Campaigns
  • Team Leadership

I'm Hunter DuBois, a creative director and storyteller based in Miami, FL. At Florida International University, I get to lead the creative vision for all 17 varsity athletic programs alongside a team we built from the ground up.

I've spent my career learning every part of the process, from shooting and editing to design and social strategy. I pride myself on being a multifaceted creative, with videography as my biggest passion. But more than anything, I take pride in being a leader who pushes others to become the best versions of themselves.

Together we turned VICE U from a concept into a nationally recognized campaign and took FIU Football's Instagram from 12K to 66K followers. I'm proud of those numbers, but I'm proudest of the people behind them, and of building a place where young creatives grow into professionals.

The Vertex Cup Miami.

A first-year U16 international youth tournament with the national sides of the USA, England, Mexico and Argentina, played April 13 to 23, 2026 at Beyond Bancard Field on FIU's campus. I was creative lead and social media manager for Vertex Soccer, starting from a brand new account.

The challenge

A new event with a new account and no player footage before the tournament. The launch had to make something that hadn't happened yet feel big and credible.

The approach

I built comprehensive social coverage from launch through the final whistle: hype videos, match highlights, photo galleries, player interviews, media day content, and daily recaps for all four national teams, with English and Spanish content for Argentina and Mexico. Before kickoff, with no player footage yet, I used an AI production pipeline to create a cinematic launch trailer that made the event feel established from day one.
