Alright – so today we’ve got the honor of introducing you to Enchii Saiko. We think you’ll enjoy our conversation, we’ve shared it below.

Enchii, thanks for joining us, excited to have you contributing your stories and insights. Have you been able to earn a full-time living from your creative work? If so, can you walk us through your journey and how you made it happen? Was it like that from day one? If not, what were some of the major steps and milestones and do you think you could have sped up the process somehow knowing what you know now?

This is probably one of the most asked questions I get — and one I used to ask myself all the time. With filmmaking and content creation becoming so much more accessible, there’s a wave of talented creators emerging at every age. I feel fortunate to now do what I love full-time, working with brands I once only dreamed about.

I actually started as a musician. I filmed my own music videos and even shot for others — sometimes charging, but more often doing it for free just to get my name out there. I remember when my girlfriend worked at a coffee shop and they needed a social media videographer. I convinced the owner I was the right person for the role, and that became my first paid gig. It wasn’t much, but it was the first time someone paid for my creative service, and I was just grateful for the opportunity to learn and grow.

I shot weddings here and there, but things really shifted when I started sharing my work online — especially my dynamic mixed media edits and tutorials. My first big brand partnership was with Adobe Photoshop, and from that moment, I knew I could actually make a living doing this.

Since then, I’ve been focused on constantly evolving and creating work that feels fresh and different. That mindset led me to sign with VX Media, a social media talent agency based in New York. Between their connections and the growth of my own platforms, I’ve been able to land consistent projects and support myself doing what I love.

The biggest lesson I’ve learned? Always innovate. Never get too comfortable. If your work starts feeling too safe, you’re not giving yourself room to grow. Keep pushing your creativity, refine your style, and never settle for mediocre — that’s how you stand out and attract the right opportunities.

As always, we appreciate you sharing your insights and we’ve got a few more questions for you, but before we get to all of that can you take a minute to introduce yourself and give our readers some of your back background and context?

I’m a content creator and director who loves mixing cinematic visuals with bold, eye-catching edits. My style is all about making things feel fresh, creative, and a little unexpected — whether it’s a fashion video, a product campaign, or a quick GRWM.

What makes my work stand out is the way I blend storytelling with unique editing. I’m always looking for ways to make content feel more like an experience rather than just something to scroll past. I love playing with different visuals, textures, and styles to make every piece feel like its own little world.

I’ve worked with brands like Samsung, Adobe, and Heineken, but what really matters to me is staying true to my style and always finding new ways to push what content can look like. Whether someone’s a brand, a creative, or just someone who enjoys cool visuals — I want them to see my work and feel inspired.

We’d love to hear a story of resilience from your journey.

There have been a lot of moments in this journey where I’ve faced adversity, but one of the toughest was the transition from doing social media videos for local clients to working on brand partnerships and commercial projects.

At the time, I had two retainer clients, which made up a big chunk of my income. Things were finally starting to feel stable — I was earning enough through those clients while also growing my own page and doing the occasional brand deal on the side. But within three months, both clients ended their contracts with me. I barely had any savings, and just like that, my main source of income was gone.

My first instinct was to go out and look for new clients to replace them. But deep down, I knew I wanted to bet on myself — so I made the decision to go all in on building my own platform. It was scary. I was still a small creator, and I had very little experience with full brand campaigns. For months, things were quiet. I picked up PA work around Orlando just to get by, but I never stopped creating. I kept putting out content, refining my style, and pushing through, even when it felt like nothing was happening.

Eventually, I got a message from my agency saying a few brands were interested in giving me a shot. I put everything I had into those projects — and they ended up loving the videos. That was the turning point. From there, I started booking consistent directing work and collaborations.

That experience taught me a lot about resilience. You have to stay ready. Keep creating, even when no one’s watching. Believe in your craft before anyone else does — because the opportunities will come, but only if you’re ready for them.

Is there a particular goal or mission driving your creative journey?

One of my biggest goals is to inspire others to not just to follow their passion, but to also give them a roadmap and create an environment where they can succeed. Growing up, my parents didn’t really see what I do now as a real career option. I went to a small school where no one was really pursuing anything creative, so I had to be my own source of motivation. I had to believe in my craft before anyone else did.

I’m incredibly grateful that it worked out, and now I want to share my journey so others can see what’s possible. I want people to know what to expect, what it really takes, and most importantly, that it’s more achievable than ever to make it as a creative if you stay true to your vision and put in the work.
