When I was employed with Living Walls, the City Speaks, I ran the media team as the Communications Director. Living Walls is a non profit that creates public art and programming in the city of Atlanta and beyond. I managed a team of six people - graphic designers, photographers and videographers. During "Conference", the ten days of mural production and programming, my team released a new video every day. We built apps, maps, and print publications to accompany each conference. During my tenure, Living Walls was selected to be a pilot partner for the Google Street Art Project, for which I catalogued Living Walls public art production and documented conference. For the 2013 Conference, I also produced the main event, which to date was the largest event held at the Goat Farm with over 5,000 attendees to hear Killer Mike perform, for free. In 2015, the organization went on hiatus and was restructured, in which that time I left the organization.
