I am an artist, creative director, and graphic designer with 6 years of industry experience freelancing. I also have experience in video production. I am proficient in Adobe Photoshop, InDesign, Lightroom and Premiere. I am comfortable in Adobe Creative Suite. My styles are versatile in regards to digital art, have a strong understanding of texture usage, photo realism, editing and color theory. I have a deep understanding of social media marketing and content creation. I study algorithms and understand how to translate design and content theory to both creatives and non creatives alike.

I have written, storyboarded and directed three music videos. My duties included production handling, treatment writing, pitching, and leadership on set. My music video "Home Run" for Canon garnered 50,000 views in the first 3 weeks of release across all platforms, and was played several times on BET. I also have created artwork for 20 plus songs that have passed 1 million streams on Spotify alone. I have experience in studio photography as well as relighting/recoloring photos and video footage. I am a strong leader, excellent at delegating and have strategic planning skills. I have played producer-type roles in my music video experiences. Additionally, I studied communications classes, I am a friendly and outgoing people-person and I have well developed writing skills. I love to be part of a team.
