Cursed with a wild imagination and driven by passion - I create, design and learn from everything I can get my hands on. Savannah College of Art and Design instilled in me the principles of design but creativity has flowed through my veins since the days of Play-doh. Motion Graphics is where I began my career but quickly I developed a love for and got my hands into everything from logo design to show packaging. Now I offer clients my talents in most avenues of creative design working either directly with clients or as a resource for agencies and production companies.
I wholeheartedly love creative work with all the challenges and triumphs it brings, the process breaths energy into my life. And in no way do I consider it work, I leave that word for stuff like mowing the lawn or cleaning. Designing has allowed me to use my talents to grow my life and build upon my experiences. Not to mention it gives me a reason to keep Play-doh at my desk.

WTVO / WQRF Nexstar Broadcasting Inc. Art Director, Sept. 03’ - Aug. 09’: I was responsible for creating and maintaining the identity for the ABC and FOX affiliate newscasts and the First Warn Weather Team. I oversaw the creation of daily on air graphics, making sure they remained within brand. I also created identities and graphic treatments for special projects such as telethons, sports shows and sales projects. And I produced and executed image campaigns, special report promos, print ads, radio ads, web ads and vehicle graphics. In addition to my assigned responsibilities I took it upon myself to hold tutoring sessions for co-workers who wanted to sharpen their design skills and increase their software knowledge.
