Work with Patrick
A live review of your room, camera, lighting, microphone, framing, and workflow—followed by a practical priority plan built around what you already own.
Turn a pile of tools into a repeatable way to record, present, and publish. Patrick can help shape the system, scenes, graphics, and workflow without overbuilding it.
Straight-talking sessions on AI, modern collaboration, UCaaS, hybrid work, technical storytelling, and credible on-camera communication.
The broadcast system
Good production is not decoration. It is a clear system for the room, the gear, the workflow, and the identity people see on screen. This is the same visual language built for the Tattooed Nerd broadcast kit.
Patrick Kelley
Patrick is a technology architect, speaker, published author, content creator, and the person behind Tattooed Nerd.
His path runs through more than 25 years of enterprise communications work and hundreds of videos—starting with a basic webcam and growing into two purpose-built studios. He is a Distinguished Architect at Zoom and the author of The Ultimate Zoom Cookbook.
Patrick has presented at events including Enterprise Connect, Microsoft Ignite, and Zoomtopia. The goal is always the same: strip away the posturing, explain what matters, and help people communicate with more clarity.
Tattooed Nerd is Patrick's independent personal brand and is not sponsored or endorsed by Zoom.
Studio questions
No. The first goal is to improve placement, settings, lighting, sound, and workflow before buying more equipment.
Yes. A useful session begins with your actual room, your current gear, and the way you really work—not a generic shopping list.
Executives, subject-matter experts, creators, speakers, and remote professionals who want their on-camera presence to match the quality of their ideas.
Official gear
The original Tattooed Nerd tee. Current colors, sizes, pricing, and availability live on Etsy.
