Profile

I grew up from stories.  That line... isn't very unique. 
At all.  But it’s not meant to be. 

My first examples of what I called stories were the common things like books, movies, and video games.  I learned over time they can be solely visual.  They can be the rumor your friend tells you that he or she heard from someone else.  It can be a conversation or confrontation unfolding right in front of your very eyes.

 

Stories became my compass.  They directed me to simple things like what I like and dislike.  They inspired me in how I want to think and behave, or what I want to avoid in my actions and mindset.  They molded me into the person I am now:  An ambitious creative who graduated from Florida State University.  A happily married homeowner of two pets.  And someone who strives to make the most out of every day from sunrise to midnight.

 

It’s motivated me to push myself to the limit and beyond in any creative role given to me.  Graphic Design, video editing, creative writing and event organization are some of the few things I’ve given it my all when it came to fulfilling creative projects for others.

 

We are all connected in the facet of growing and learning from stories.  What’s unique, however, is how we mold ourselves from those stories, and how we’re able to share the stories of others, including ourselves.

 

You can find below a brief overview of past experiences I’ve accrued and the tools I’ve used over the years in these creative roles.  Thanks for taking the time to read this.
