I'm a graphic designer without a design degree.Instead, I have two business degrees (and a certificate) with years of real-world experience as a senior brand designer and strategist. Whether it's non-profit, entertainment, real estate, or whatever else, I've diagnosed problems and used creative to engineer permanent solutions to those problems. I believe the creative arts—design, video, copy, and so on—could be the most powerful tools for overcoming the biggest challenges that vex so many businesses today.In my free time, I built from nothing a creative team of 10+ at my local church, where I now serve as creative director pro-bono. I also built a self-sustaining music and merch business as an indie rapper (known as Kaptivated), which has won me regional competitions and flown me across the country to perform.
