ORIGIN STORY
I've been making things for as long as I can remember
It started with LEGO when I was 5 or 6. Then drawing. Somewhere along the way, I became obsessed with little details, small imperfections, and things that felt slightly off.
Creativity wasn't a career
I heard that line growing up a lot.
That never sat right with me.
I opened Photoshop in 2009
It was freshman year of high school, and I've been using it ever since.
2020 //
New hobbies
Creativity became more than a hobby. Switched from chemical engineering to Web & Multimedia Design at a community college in Cincinnati.
2021 //
All in, baby.
Got my first "career job" while doing college full-time, working in a warehouse full-time, and making logos for people in the local area.
I wasn't hungry for my career. I was starving.
Enhanced Points
of View
I learned how to develop full-fledged brands through my education, then dove into photography, videography, and expressive design to expand my skillset.
I now create enhanced points of view for those who have something great worth sharing. Nothing less.
Why This Exists
Craftsmanship
Great creative work should feel like it was curated.
The value of the hands, eyes, experience and judgement of a creative pro is immense.
Authenticity
Creative work should reflect the person, the brain, or the story behind it.
Find what makes you different, and give it room to breathe and be seen.
Intentionality
Every frame serves the story.
Every design serves the message.
Every idea serves the audience.
No exceptions, ever.
Honesty
Everything is meaningless if this isn't there.
Full creativity is only possible when there's no pressure, inflated promises, or unnecessary complexity.
Since you're here...
