Mandi was raised by wolves in San Jose, CA in the eighties. Rescued by two awesome parents, she began tinkering with computers at the age of 5. Fascinated by music, she began shooting local bands in 2007. Once the social media scene exploded, she saw a need for clear, crisp visuals to accompany the music. She began documenting the local sounds under the name of Mandalyn Media in 2008 and has been shooting ever since.
When she isn’t filming, she enjoys running races for charity, hiking with her dogs, dressing up as Catwoman, and eating delicious bacon.
