Eddy Street Post is not only a company name but the street Chaz's Grandmother raised him in the inner city San Francisco. 
It would be in this same apartment that his creative journey started circa 2006. He taught himself photography and graphic design in order to create myspace layouts for friends and family.

After receiving a business degree from Morehouse college in 2011 he taught himself film online and started directing music videos until attending the Berkeley digital film institute in 2012.

Here, under the tutelage of his editing teacher Sharif Nakhleh, and from working closely with his director classmates Suj and Sebastian Sdaigui, Chaz took a liking to editing full time and never looked back.
He has since edited commercials for a plethora of brands including Nike, Honda, Reebok, Spotify, etc. and has completed music videos for famed artists including Nipsey Hussle, Nas, Jhene Aiko, Rick Ross, Summer Walker, Sabrina Claudio, Vince Staples, 24KGOLDN, etc. 

He is credited on IMDB for editing a tv special for Brandon Leake’s “A Family Affair”, completing graphic animations for the Netflix special “Civil: Ben Crump” and has even assisted with visual screens on Kendrick Lamar’s “The Big Steppers Tour”

Erin’s curiosity for creating started in the 4th grade when she was accepted into the gifted and talented education program (GATE) and collaborated with older children in middle school to create a stop-motion claymation project.

Years later, she realized she could do something similar digitally with Adobe Flash and recreate the same satisfaction of combining creativity with technology using the entire Adobe suite. In high school, she began making MySpace music profiles, doing graphics for album covers and party flyers, and working with up-and-coming artists in the Bay Area, including HBK, Iamsu, P-Lo, Young Bari, J-roc, and the Diligentz.After high school, she went into the restaurant industry.

At 23, she became a restaurant general manager, managing and leading 30+ employees. In 2015, she transitioned into tech as a technical recruiter. She used her business savvy skills and entrepreneurial spirit to lead her down a path of success, partnering with CEOs, founders, and executives in the tech industry to help their companies grow.
