Self Portrait

About Me -

I am a twenty-two year old media designer and photographer who recently graduated from Lees-McRae College in Banner Elk, NC. During my time there I earned my BS in Communication Arts which honed my eye and skills as a designer. In addition I have interned with multiple companies, learning aspects of freelance and in-house work.

I strive to create visually appealing designs that establish identity and communicate effectively. I believe that good design draws your audience in and conveys your message in a method that will be remembered. Browse around to see my work, and check out my resume.

Alas! Work is growing and I’m super stoked about it. I started working part-time at NFi Studios as a graphic and web design intern, and while I’ve been there for a little over a month, now it’s bringing in money! I’m picking up some more freelance projects as well and I’ve partnered with Matt Everley of m.e.designlab for a new website. Recently friendsposter.com launched, I was responsible for a lot of the development at NFi, check it out!

Overall I’m very excited and would love to talk to you about your next project!

Ha ha! Fun with old cameras! My grandfather gave me his old medium format camera, the well renown Ciro-flex and I shot with it for the first time today. It’s alot different from digital which I’ve become accustom to. No more instant gratification, rather I the anticipation is building and I have no idea how the shots will turn out. Light leaks? Streaks? Bad exposures? Who knows?!? It’s fun and exiting though, and I’m sure they’ll have a great character to them. I’ll be sure to put up some shots after I have them processed.

I started working with a local web design company about two weeks ago as design intern. So far it’s been pretty sweet. I’m excited to be getting involved in the design scene around Orlando, and I’m super stoked about learning. Even in just the short amount of time I’ve been there I’ve learned a lot more about web development and a little more of the business side of the trade. I’m looking forward to where it’s going.

I’ve also added a couple of other things to the site, working on keeping it up to date. Check it out!
