Hello — I'm Travis, founder of Phillips Vision. Video editor, filmmaker, and designer with over a decade in broadcast television and Christian media. Before the cameras, I was a young musician playing guitar and bass in churches across southwest Houston.
My media journey started in 2012, when a Christian ministry just west of Houston hired me to help produce their TV show. Over the next eleven years they kept handing me more — video production, graphic design, copywriting, communications — until I'd stacked every role in the building. That job taught me the whole toolkit. It also handed me the frustration that would define everything after: I'd pour long hours into creative work I believed in, post it, and watch it disappear.
I knew the content was good — so why wasn't it sticking?
I had to figure it out. So I became a student of media as it relates to culture, and the answer turned out to be bigger than any single video:
You need a mission people can emotionally invest in. You need consistency, so people know your platform is alive and worth following. You need presence where your people actually are. And you need someone caring for the experience like your audience is standing right in front of you.
In 2023 I left broadcast and launched Phillips Vision the same day I walked out the door — to be that someone: the creative partner who carries the media so mission-driven leaders can carry the mission.
This work has carried our cameras from broadcast edit bays to the streets of Philadelphia for a television series, to missions in Guatemala, to documentary work in South Africa — often filming side-by-side with local creatives. We've produced weekly podcasts, scripture series, CTV ad campaigns, and the recap films that play before events even end.
Here's my conviction in the age of generated everything:
Real organizations do real work for real people. The feeding program actually feeds someone. The conference actually changes someone's year. The frame is what lets the world see it — and that's the part I'm called to. There's an old verse that's been on my mind since the beginning, small enough to fit on a yard sign: "Write the vision; make it plain, that he who reads it may run." — Habakkuk 2:2. That's the job description.
And the extra spark? It shows up in the exhaustion, right before calling it quits — the detail 97% of people would never notice. When it's your passion and your vision on the line, it's reassuring to know someone is going that extra mile. That attention is the sauce that moves ideas from forgettable to remarkable.
When we began, Debra George Ministries had about 600 YouTube subscribers — after years of posting every single day and traveling nationally. The mission was enormous; the frame was small. It was never her effort. When we took over management, engagement rose 600%, and when one clip from our Philadelphia series hit 3 million views, the platform was ready for every new eye: over 21,000 subscribers, national and international invitations, television networks calling.
Consistency isn't posting for posting's sake. It's building the room before the crowd arrives.

I live in Katy, Texas, and serve organizations across southwest Houston — Katy, Fulshear, Cypress, Richmond, the Energy Corridor — and anywhere a mission needs a camera. And I know what local businesses here are doing to market themselves, because I am one. Yes, that's my yard sign. Every piece of marketing is a new opportunity for someone to find you — our job is to come alongside you and make that engine run efficiently.
The best test of my playbook is close to home: my wife Katherine's mobile grooming business went from nearly-quitting to six figures on the exact strategy we offer clients. We test everything on our own family first.

Faith, family, and the craft — in that order. If your mission deserves to be seen, I'd love to meet you.
