I'm glad you stopped by, I love meeting new people and learning from new experiences. I've worked as a designer for 4 years in a variety of industries, but an agency is where you really see me shine. Adapting is what I do best, thoroughly understanding different brands and target audiences in order to conceptualize and create wide ranges of engaging content. As you will see below, I thrive on pushing concepts to the limit by finding unique, clever, and fascinating ways to efficiently convey the desired message or impression. I'm a UT Arlington graduate with a BA in Visual Communications and a minor in Advertising, earning several awards in both student and professional competitions. As you get to know me you'll learn that I like to be funny and friendly, allowing me to be a great collaborator while staying professional.

Golden Mic - Landing Page Golden Mic was a lip sync competition between Austin agencies. I contributed to the concept and had full creative authority over the art direction of the entire campaign. The website is the North Star of the project, tying the theme of the experience together with our direct mail and social media outreach. Made to imitate the Austin underground concert scene with DIY garage band fliers, the theme made delivering content feel more authentic and engaging. The sticker on the right would literally drop the microphone as the user scrolled down the page, providing a quick link straight to the registration page. Click to enlarge and see the full site.

Web Design - Evaluation Tool This tool relied on a series of sliders and checkboxes to definte the user and recommend the best solution for their practice.

Golden Mic - GSD&M Combining GSD&M with Eminem was the first concept that I mocked up and pitched to prove I could manage the execution of the rest. I utilized the basic structure of this design as a template and gave the other four designers some room to play with the concept while maintaining a stylistic similarity throughout the set. I decided it would be best to allow the secondary and tertiary colors of the main logo to be manipulated to better fit the style of each poster.

Golden Mic - All 13 Invitations In order for our event invitations to get the attention of some of the largest agencies in Austin (and not get lost in Junk email folders), I proposed and executed a solution to directly target each agency. I led the entire creative team to create 14 unique posters, designing the template and 5 posters on my own while guiding the team to complete the rest. This image was taken before I created the host agency's poster, so it will only include 13 of the final 14 posters. The background is not part of my design but it was my deceision to utilize the pre-existing painting as a backdrop.

TD Web Banner Created for our client as part of a lengthy nurture campaign involving several videos, emails, landing pages, social media, and web banners created by our agency. I had varying levels of involvement with each type of media throughout this campaign, mainly focusing on emails and landing pages. This banner is representative of some of my work. This required an adherance to the established web design format while making choices about the key photography used. Mainy times, such as with this piece, I had to capture a frame from the video to strike the right tone.

Golden Mic - Y&R Invitation to an agency event in the form of a concert poster. Y&R mixed with Lynyrd Skynyrd logo required recreating the original band logo and making space to fit the ampersand from the agency logo. Required balancing the kerning of the original logo differently in my own vector version.

Golden Mic - Sanders\Wingo Invitation to an agency event in the form of a concert poster. Combining Sanders\Wingo with OK Go required the right photography that would convey the obscure band's unique and modern sense of style. There is the second round, with the first featuring their classic treadmills, but we opted for a photo of the band to provide more context. Finding the right photo without reusing their iconic imagery proved to be a challenge but resulted in the poster feeling more unique than simply a redesign of previous work.

Wild Hogs Infographic I researched and designed this infographic simultaneously, allowing the data to guide my process and determine the focus of the piece.

Wide Open Country - Landing Page I designed both the logo and landing page for the launch of Wide Open Spaces' new sister-site. The logo for Wide Open Country was targeted to females interested in Country music and lifestyle.

Nutritional Infographic This inofgraphic was derrived from a large set of data that I compiled in a way that is both easy to read and easy to share on social media.
