Who am I?
As a solo creative, my goal is to bring your project to life in a way that is unique, and avoids any form of cookie-cutter formula.
Every client and every project is different, so bringing a personal and guided touch to you is something I feel is a necessary part of the process.
My personal journey into the creative realm began in my pre-teen years, teaching myself the fundamentals of Adobe. I developed a deep curiosity for photo manipulation and found joy in the process, a love of self-education, and pride in the results.
While I can admit, most of the time they were silly little edits, those little childhood projects laid the foundation for me to expand upon as I grew.
Why’s that relevant?
Those little projects I spent my childhood and teen years on, led to well over a decade of freelance graphic design expertise, multiple degrees, and a lifelong pursuit of furthering myself.
As a result, I currently hold two degrees — a comprehensive foundation in communications with an associates degree, and a specialized focus on graphic design with a bachelor’s degree.
My work ethic and proficiency led to being called back the semester after graduation to teach as an adjunct in the Graphic Design program at Buffalo State.
I’ve worked with a range of clients from non-profits and mom and pop shops to the national and international level.
That dynamic mindset I gained as a kid, ultimately boils down to “if I haven’t mastered it yet, I’m eager to learn.” It’s this curiosity and adaptability that’s always fueled my creativity.
What can I do for you?
By working with me, you get more than just a run-of-the-mill service – you get a dedicated partner who will focus on building a direct connection with you and your ideas.
It doesn’t matter who you are, I will always treat your project as if it were my own, and will be critically honest if I believe the direction we’re headed doesn’t point towards a positive outcome.
In this industry, it’s far too common for designers to roll over and do exactly what you say, which truth be told, doesn’t equate to successful results.
I have professional experience with:
Print and Marketing Collateral // 3D // Typography // Branding, Identity & Logos // Photo Manipulation & Editing // Motion Graphics // Video Editing
Alongside personal experience with:
Photography // Videography // Typeface Creation
If you’re thinking about reaching out, please do. No project is too large or too small, and I will be honest if it is not something I think I’d be your best choice for. Ultimately your identity and image
deserve the best you can get, and infrequently that may not be me.
