It all began in 1999 when my curiosity for layout design and photography led me to become the editor of my high school yearbook. As the editor I managed a small staff of my peers, arranged bi-weekly staff meetings, and met many deadlines.

As the years went on my curiosity for graphic design grew into a passion. This passion soon drove me to obtain my bachelor’s degree in Fine Arts with a concentration in graphic design at the University of South Carolina Aiken. Those fours years in college were some of the best years of my life. Throughout my college years faculty & staff insisted that I use my graphic design technique for the university. So, I took advantage of the opportunity and as a result I obtained elaborate graphic design skills, leadership skills, and communication skills.

These skills were put to the test between the years of December 2002 - December 2004 when I worked at the university as their Orientation Team Leader. During those years USC Aiken allowed me to manage a team of 36 people through one week of training and two months of freshmen/new students orientation. I also got the opportunity to design elaborate programs and fashionable
t-shirts for the staff to wear during this two-month event.

Upon graduating from the University of South Carolina Aiken in 2005, I continued to utilize my technique in graphic design.  Working for organizations like Faith Outreach Christian Life Center, Paine College, and Morris Communications are what helped me to evolve to the great graphic designer I am today. In all these professions I utilized my technique in designing magazines, ads, and managing websites.

My goal as a graphic designer is to follow the vision of the corporation and make sure my graphic design technique relates well to my audience. I truly feel that relating to your audience is an important asset because without an audience your product will never sale.
