What I love about designing is the same thing I loved about playing football: the chance to be creative. Finding innovative ways to communicate with fans and recruits reminds me of the rush I got finding gaps in a defense en route to the end zone.
My passion for football drove me to play at Jacksonville University. As my athletic career wound down, my passion was redirected towards creative content. Adding an art minor my senior year put me in position to enter the JU Visual Arts Master of Fine Arts program the following summer, aligning with my Athletics Marketing Graduate Assistantship.
During my time as a Graduate Assistant, I taught a digital art course at JU in addition to freelancing as a designer and photographer. After graduation, I joined the Athletics Communications team at James Madison University as a graphic designer. I currently work for the Maryland State Bar Association, or MSBA, as a graphic designer. Outside of work, I enjoy sports, exercising, spicy food and learning to code.
