ABOUT US
Ian West
Owner
I’m originally from Delaware and began making movies on my dad’s camcorder when I was a little kid. I began my career in New York City and my passion for story telling lead me to open WestHouse Creative.
I married my high school sweetheart in 2015, and we moved to Austin in 2017 to plant roots and start a family. In 2020, we welcomed our baby girl. In my free time, I enjoy playing board and video games, going to the park with my family, and watching movies on the couch.
