I began designing in 2010 at a vocational college. I was heavily into metal music at the time and primarily worked on logos, album art, and screen printing merch. My professor saw potential early on and helped me get Adobe Certified before graduation.
In 2012, I went to Webster University to study Advertising and minored in Graphic Design. I took a variety of fine art classes to balance technical ability, creative thinking, and strategic planning. I later studied Japanese, calligraphy, and worked other languages into my work.
My family and friends will tell you I’m a motorsports nut. When the 12 hours of Sebring or 6 hours of Watkins Glen is on, I watch the entire race. This aided in my photography interest as Cars & Coffee became routine photography practice. Later, at Cat5, I became more of a product photographer and shot lifestyle for our private label brand, Mission Made.
I’ve always enjoyed making things. Whether it was putting together the perfect guitar rig, building a gaming PC, restoring an old car, or designing artwork for a client. Design is an outlet of expression and communication.
I am always taking on new clients whether it’s email design, branding, portrait or product photography. Send me an inquiry and I’ll get back to you soon.
