I am a formally trained Graphic Designer and Photographer, (Double Major BFA from FAU).
As a young creative graphic designer from Florida I've accomplished an impressive body of work in my short career. Having completed an internship at Motorola and tried my hand at freelance throughout college. Ultimately landing an internship at Pizza Fusion which later became a full time in-house graphic designer/creative director role.
My first serious job after getting my BFA in photography and graphic design had me expanding a franchise from two stores to over 50 units. Over three years we developed a brand voice and visual style for Pizza Fusion. Over the last 18 months I simultaneously transitioned their marketing and merchandising system to an automated self service portal.
At one point I became creative director, overseeing multiple projects and third-party designers.
Possibly the most challenging period in my short career had me creating new collateral, managing design and production of merchandise/collateral, while meeting deadlines for on going projects. (branding refresh, new store design, new menu items, food photography and limited time offers).
Those were some crazy times, interviewing people to do my bidding was weird, I even had my own intern at one point.
Most recently I've been working on more hands on stuff, photography/film, silk screening, stenciling, paint/ink on canvas/cardboard. I had been so busy working on franchise projects and automating workflows that my personal projects were all put on hold.
