3. I am originally from Fort Worth, grew up in Little Rock, AR, went to Texas A&M University and currently residing in Austin, TX working full time at May Designs.
5. Our lives are digital and are friends are virtual. I want to stop this.
6. Community build up around a similar purpose can be super impactful to society- for the good!
7. Slow living includes taking time to enjoy the day, make meals and have conversations with those around you.
8. While my favorite type of exploring is through traveling, exploring can also translate to new ventures in hobbies, friendships and employment!

“Everybody has to change or they expire.” -Donald Miller
9. I left A&M because I got a full time job in Austin. I transferred to FSO, multi-tasking full time work with full time school, learning the values of people relations, diligence
and how to be task oriented.
10. I have professional experience in product photography, portrait photography and event photography.
12. From publication to greeting cards, layout design a particular strength of mine. I’ve created several greeting card lines, venturing into die cuts and real gold, copper and
rose gold foil stamped Holiday Cards.
13. I have been to 48/50 states and a handful of countries. I love backpacking and hiking, especially with my family!
14. Traveling has always been a vital part of my life- I love exploring communities and culture, soaking up different types of design and art. It’s crazy how art can transcend
across cultures and become a universal language.
15. I have worked in youth camping for several years, developing deep friendships and learning to love well despite differences.
16. I’m all about unplugging and enjoying life. Friendships, conversations, and occasional dance parties is what life all about.
17. “I have found that I can say things in colors and shapes that I have not been able to find in any other way.” -Georgia O’Keeffe
18. I love fashion! I love that one person can express themselves through articles of clothing. However…..
19. I do get bit uneasy when trends come and go. I love it when people get inspired by the fashion industry, but turn to their own aesthetic to ensure authenticity and
personal style.
20. “I’ll tell you how the sun rose- a ribbon at a time.” -Emily Dickinson
21. Vanilla Ice Cream is my jam- simple and timeless. A testament to my preference in many areas of design.
22. Chaco is loyal, friendly and forgiving. I aspire to be half the guy he is! Ha!
23. As previously mentioned, my family is the root of a lot of my work. They inspired me to get a full time job at age 20, encourage me as I continue to build my career, and
cheer on my every next move.
24. I get a lot of my inspiration by simple, every day things. I love finding beauty in creation and the simple joys that hide throughout the day.
25. While my friends have taught be to be a goofball, backpacking and being outdoors has taught me to work hard! Being relentless and not giving myself the option of
turning back taught me dedication and how to press through when the situation is not easy. I’ve been able to apply this to my career- when things aren’t going my way…
chin up and press through!
26. The marks of a fisherman are character traits I hope to live everyday: being prepared, rising early in the morning, knowing when to speak and how to wait for opportunity.
27. Let’s be friends! As long as your good with catching a sunrise or two, I’m easy to be pals with.
28. Thank you for taking time to listen to my presentation. I hope that you have a clearer perspective on who I am a Creative, but more importantly on who I am as a person. I
look forward to being in contact!
