WELCOME TO MY PORTFOLIO
About Me…
Growing up in Charlotte, I have spent much of my personal and professional time committed to what I do best: design. That incorporates several facets of the word. I have experience in print design, graphic design, and website development. That experience has come through several mediums from print publications, outdoor displays, and online user interfaces.
I first started my career fresh out of high school. It wasn’t glamorous but it definitely fueled the fires of my interest. I spent my days working in dark rooms and laying out ads for newspapers. From there I worked in a sign shop, a popular local entertainment publication, and had a chance to learn some of the processes of a print press.
I began noticing that much of my work was beginning to find its home on the internet. Seeing this as more than a fad. I then decided that I wanted to step up to the next level and create works of art for the web that was functional and reflected my abilities as a designer. Determining the most natural first step was education, I returned to school in the Spring of 2008.
On a humbling note, one is never fully educated. As things change so often, I am always in a learning mode. However, with the right approach and an aggressive attitude, I have been able to evolve along with my practice. And what excites me more than what I’m doing today is what I’m doing tomorrow.
