I served as the founder and principal of Enlightenment Design. I have worked with several regular clients – primarily from Savannah - on advertising, illustration and graphic design. Some of the past clients include Cash 'N' Carry, Coastal Digital Reprographics and Inner Kingdom Games.

Served as the first full time employee at Dragonpencil - during time there, experienced a deep level of involvement with nearly every aspects of the company. Daily responsibilities include overseeing between twenty and forty projects and serving as the first point of communications between prospective clients and existing clients. This management experience resulted in guidance of the company’s growth from two to eight employees and tripling our annual output.
