I was always a creative kid. For as long as I can remember, I was rearranging every room in my family’s home, drawing on pages of any spare notebooks I could get my hands on, and spending hours in front an old desktop computer with my brother designing what we thought would be the next big video game. While these were basically nothing more than simple little smiley face doodles and terribly pixelated space ninjas, they helped pave the way for my exciting future in the world of design.

After growing up in a small Mississippi town, I quickly moved out to the Big Apple to pursue my Broadway dreams, like most millennials do. I quickly realized that New York City wasn’t the place for me and took my life out West to Chicago. I was able to shift my focus to full-time design and creative direction. From there, I haven’t looked back.

I consider myself a creative problem solver and storyteller who is always willing and wanting to learn more.

Oh yeah, and I love my dog. His name is River.
