I am originally from the Mississippi Delta and currently reside in Dallas, Texas. My graphic design skills cover print, web solutions, social media presence and other various advertising media. I am a graduate of Arizona State University with a Master's degree in Graphic Information Technology. My experience extends from being employed by one of the top ten advertising agencies in Arizona to currently being employed as Deputy Chief Communications Officer at the University of North Texas System. My client base stretches from local businesses, large companies to the higher education sectors.
When I am not designing or editing at a computer, I love reading comics & graphic novels, drawing, painting, weightlifting, and watching science fiction films. I also have a healthy collection of action figures and 1980s memorabilia (Because... why not!).
Feel free to contact me, if you would like more information.
