Story time.
My passion for art and design started at a young age. In middle school, I started making t-shirt designs for my friends and local bands. Once high school hit, I kept the designs flowing and attended the UniTec Career Center, where I dove into print design and photography.
After high school, I packed my bags and moved down to Orlando to attend Full Sail University and before I knew it I received my bachelor's degree in Digital Arts & Design. While attending Full Sail, I started freelancing and also joined No Anchor, a community of adventurers and creatives. Once graduating, I went on a month-long road trip through the US with the No Anchor crew, exploring the East Coast and wandering up to the Northwest.
I eventually found myself back in Missouri, where I ended up taking my freelancing to Columbia. Not long after moving to the area I was picked up by an agency in town, called The Evoke Group, where I worked as an Animation and Design Specialist. After two years or so, I parted ways from the agency and got deeper into freelance but quickly had an opportunity to join Columbia College’s creative team as a Digital Creative Strategist.
Working at the college was great and had me dealing with plenty of new creative challenges, but after about two years I had the chance to dive right into full-time freelance. Starting with a move back to St. Louis to get closer to clients but giving me the freedom to move wherever the road takes me. Leading me to Huntsville, Alabama, where I’m constantly pushing my skills forward and creating art for a wide range of companies.
