Cincinnati is a big brand town and big brands are often supported by marketing and advertising agencies. As I neared graduation, I found myself a competent brand and visual designer, like many of my classmates, but I also found strength in interactive mediums like web design and development, and timeline animation in Flash.

Thanks to an observant classmate, who noticed my diverging path, I landed a design agency internship in 2009. This foot-in-the-door lead me down a pathway supporting marketing and advertising agencies, as well as marketing efforts for individual brands.

From 2009 to 2018, I completed projects, both as a full-time employee and freelancer, for Bluestone Creative, Traction, Powerhouse Factories, Durham Brand & Co., Wondergroup, Curiosity 360, Creative Department, Ample, Brandwright, Seed Strategy, BLDG, Madison Design, and the Dye Bros.
