I’m Robert Petersen, founder of Worthy Creative U and BriteFire Films. With over 36 years of industry success—from my start at ABC News and Sports to launching BriteFire Films in 1992 and collaborating with ad agencies, corporate clients, and government agencies—I’ve dedicated my career to mastering the art of creativity.
Since joining the university over a decade ago, I have produced live broadcast television and creative projects that push the boundaries of visual storytelling, while also discovering a deep passion for mentoring and teaching my students.
I bring this wealth of knowledge and experience to our supportive and inspiring Worthy Creative U community. My mission is to equip you with the skills and confidence to transform your creative passion into a successful hobby, side hustle, or thriving freelance or full-time business.
Join me to Get Inspired, Level Up Skills, Win Clients, Create Fans, and yes—let’s drink plenty of coffee together along the way as we chat and become friends.
