Design is my passion, my career, and my life. The most important element and the lifeblood of my work is the relationship I build with the organizations I do work for. That is the vital reason I start every project by familiarizing myself with my clients as well as their company’s goals and personalities.
My design career began as a simple freelance gig in high school. I apprenticed at a friend’s t-shirt shop and was hooked on design from then on. This led to working for several groups throughout my collegiate career. Following an internship at an engineering company in Fayetteville, I continued freelance work in my spare time to deliberately shape and hone my professional abilities. These experiences marked me as a “jack-of-all-trades”, allowing me a hand in all aspects of visual design.Upon graduation, I became the webmaster for a marketing and design firm. This role granted me extensive knowledge of web principles that would propel me further in the craft. During this time several student groups at the University of Arkansas and a series of small non-profits kept me busy. The work I created for these organizations was heavily focused on identity and branding design.
Since then I have served as the In-House Designer for the National Headquarters of a Fraternity and Sorority and spent 10 years as the Creative Services Director for the Rogers-Lowell Area Chamber of Commerce. I have worked individually, as part of a team, and as a project lead, and I strive to ensure the highest quality product in each situation. I enjoy working in all media types, fusing illustration, photography, layout, videography, and modern design principles into an adaptive style for almost any project.
This website showcases projects I have designed, directed, or collaborated on. I’ve written a short description of each project along with my involvement in its completion, any significant details about the project itself, and any notable outcomes since its completion.
Ever scroll through a sea of selfies and wonder what they say about the person behind the lens? I do!

So, grab a metaphorical cup of coffee and dive into these pics – they're a glimpse into who I am!
