MY GOAL: KEEP BRANDING CLEAR, SIMPLE, AND EFFECTIVE.
MY STORY
Southeast Alabama-Based Brand Developer
I'm a Southeast Alabama-based brand developer and Navy veteran, but my journey into the world of photography and design began somewhat unexpectedly back in '06. I needed just a few more credits to graduate and opted for a Film Photography class. That choice kindled a passion that has since defined my entire career.
My early days were spent navigating the nuances of analog photography, and soon after, I dove headfirst into the digital realm during my stint in Norfolk, VA. It wasn’t long before my hobby morphed into a full-fledged profession, kickstarted by a serendipitous Craigslist find that landed me my first professional gig.
​
Education has always been a cornerstone of my development. I first stepped into the academic world of photography with a film photography course at Enterprise Ozark Community College in 2006, where I also completed my Associate’s in General Studies. This early experience laid the groundwork for my passion and future endeavors in the creative arts.
​Continuing my educational journey, I later obtained several certifications from San Diego La Mesa College in fields ranging from Motion Graphics to Modern Web Design, enriching my technical skills and industry knowledge.
Building on this foundation, I pursued an undergraduate degree at Troy University, earning a Bachelor of Science in Interdisciplinary Studies with minors in Fine Arts, Marketing, and Military Operations. My education culminated with a Master’s in Strategic Communications from Troy University, where I further refined my abilities to communicate strategically and effectively in various mediums.
​
Over the years, I've navigated various facets of photography and graphic design, constantly staying abreast of the latest trends. I love every part of my job, from strategizing with clients to perfecting the final product.
I’m dedicated to ensuring that each project not only meets but exceeds expectations. After all, in this business, hitting the mark is just the beginning.
