I work with some of the best designers, front end developers and marketeers (yes, that is a word) in the Dallas area. In the day-to-day, I create custom websites for various automotive dealerships throughout the United States. I work closely with them to deliver a design that is effective for their customers, meets their brand guidelines and is some of the best visual design work I have ever done. On occasion, we do take on clients who are not in the automotive field. Those clients receive the same treatment, plus the added bonus of receiving a fully functioning Wordpress site that I custom build. One of my passions is growing businesses, marketing and brand management. I get to put those skills to work with our marketing teams creating microsites, various print campaigns and email newsletters. Worked with our New York team in the development of the corporate rebrand.

One of my close friends who I went to church with called me one day and told me, "I don't know if you are looking for a new job, but we are doing some cool stuff here and I think you should come check it out." A small startup company was about to get a huge asset and explode off the charts with growth. At a startup, you often wear multiple hats on occasion. I have skills in both design and front end development. In the first several months, I worked with our sole project manager on processes for all of the web projects and helped get us paperless. In the second version of the web platform, I took the lead in the restructure and development of the framework and helped in the development of the third version. We went from a few custom designed websites a week to three designers doing customs almost everyday. Created visual concepts for our client software and even wrote the front end code for several of the features still in use today.

If advertising and branding was a sport, my boss would have been the coach and I would have been an ace pitcher. My main responsibilities at Artistry was graphic design and web development. When I start it was more development than design; however, this great mentorship from the owner I quickly developed my design skill and discovered a passion for brand management, marketing and advertising. I worked on fundraising campaigns, complete brand collateral for churches and companies that included logos, websites, brochures, magazines, signage and more, flash animations, internal print and web materials, and developed features for their content management solution called Perpetua. It is at Artistry that I became an ace and just before leaving for eCarList I was promoted to Art Director for the company.

After graduating from high school I started college in Irving and took a job working for the local university in my hometown. Over the six years at SAGU I have worked in their Marketing department creating various graphics for the website including several redesigns. Worked in their Distance Education division creating the course lecture materials on both video and audio formats. My last promotion was back to the Marketing department where I managed the entire website including visual design, text content and even the implementation of content management system. In addition to the website, I worked closely with our marketing director on developing the brand for the university and helped develop many print pieces that were used throughout the school year.
