I love helping students realize their full potential, and turn their interests and passions into strong skillsets and careers. I have worked in the creative media industry for almost 15 years, and have dabbled in virtually every art and design form out there. From hand-illustrating logos to creating websites for global brands, I know what it takes to succeed as a graphic designer, a freelancer, and a business owner. I am passionate about helping others find success doing what they love – I have spent time in community college classrooms as well as teaching over 100,000 students online on several different platforms. I have taught photography, web design, graphic design principles, and more. I have spent my entire career in the creative arts and marketing sector. Starting back as early as high school where I turned homework into paying gigs, my love for all things art and technology-driven has only continued to grow. I had the opportunity to work with brands such as MTV, Nintendo, and Netflix while employed as an intern for Seven 2 Interactive, which definitely set the course for my career. My branding work and graphic design has been included in international publications for the design industry and regularly featured on trending websites. I am a total education nerd and have been a lifetime student of productivity and time management. I have invested thousands of dollars in books and programs around the topic to maximize the productivity of myself and my design agency, and I love using what I have learned to help my clients and students make more money while working smarter, not harder. In addition to owning my own design agency, I also spent several years as the Creative Director for a firearm and defense company based out of Montana - a job that let me stretch his creative muscles and make some epic things each and every day.
