I have maintained steady freelance design jobs throughout my college and work careers. My home office consists of only top-of-the-line equipment including Apple, Wacom, and Brother products, and my time management skills have allowed me to remain successful and hit deadlines without interfering with my full time position. 

My design work at home is always different and requires many different formats and mediums. I enjoy a new challenge and keep a fairly busy freelance schedule, while still having time to make art fun and design solely for myself. Most of my work consists of the following: Album Design and Layout, Event Flyers, Print and Web Based formats, Logo Design and Branding, T-Shirt and Accessory Merchandise Art, Screen-print Separations and Tech Packs, Watercolor and Acrylic Paintings, Linocuts and Prints, Embroidery and Sewing, Product Sourcing, Design Consultation, Social Media Marketing, and more.

Freelance design work for clients including, but not limited to: Jimmy Buffett, Live Nation, Slightly Stoopid, Perpetual Groove, etc. 

Proceeds from my personal artwork sales are donated to local animal rescues and shelters.

Senior Production Artist/Art Director

Old Guard Graphics was a top-notch screen-printing facility where I had the pleasure to with with an extremely talented and passionate group of people. I was one of three illustrator/graphic designers where I designed and separated art for print both on apparel and paper. On top of designing custom art for clients, including many fraternities and sororities at UGA and surrounding Universities, I also recreated client art and separated the art for production. 

Here, I was able to learn even more about the screen-printing process and worked first-hand with the the production line. This set me up to understand and be able to improve upon and implement new processes in my future employment. I am very grateful to the management and fellow co-workers at this establishment, as I feel like it was instrumental in shaping the artist I am today.
