ABOUT ME
When I was sixteen years old I was faced with a choice: to continue dreaming about becoming a full time music pastor, or get on a bus to visit a technology school that offered a two year program in graphic design that lead to college degree. I chose the latter. Since making that choice, I graduated from the Calhoun Area Career Center with perfect attendance and went on to obtain an associates degree in Graphic Design from Kellogg Community College.
In 2012 I moved from my home in Battle Creek, Michigan to further my career in Indianapolis, Indiana. Since then I have continued my work in the field of graphic design and have kept myself educated by learning new skills on my own and working in different sectors of the field. In 2014 I met a man by the name of Walter Emanuel Jones, who played the original black Power Ranger on Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. He asked me to do a t-shirt design for him and when the job was completed, he recommended me to other past co-stars. I now have over 50 celebrity clients that I have done design work for and continue to gain more through meet and greets at conventions and through word-of-mouth
ABOUT
I am a multi-disciplinary graphic designer who has delivered creative and engaging solutions across brand identity, print, apparel, and web design through a content management system.
In 2014 I caught the eye of a former Hollywood actor and was contracted to design a t-shirt to be sold at pop culture conventions. Since then, I have over 50 clients, spanning between actors and actresses, talent agencies, and convention promoters.
My skills include vector graphic design, web design (CMS), branding and identity, typography, photography, Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator, and more.
My skills go beyond the field of graphic design, ranging in experience from office administration work to IT help desk duties.
