Bailey Fiechtner
Photographer/Videographer
I grew up here in Spokane and graduated from Gonzaga in 2020 with a Bachelors in Broadcast and Electronic Media. For the last five years, I’ve worked in marketing, focusing on content strategy, social media, email marketing, graphic design, photography and videography.
I specialize in local organizations, because I love getting to see the real impact my work has on people, and on my community. When I’m not working, I’m spending time with my cats, creating art, and pursuing music as an aspiring metal drummer and vocalist. I’ve also had the honor of showcasing my artwork at the annual Terrain event four times.
