Professional Summary

I am a creative content creator, graphic designer, and photographer focused on functional, audience driven visual storytelling. My approach prioritizes clarity, cohesion, and purpose through the use of imagery, typography, color, and hierarchy across digital and print platforms. With experience in brand marketing, weddings, live events, and athletics, I plan and execute high quality photo, video, and design projects from concept through final delivery. As a former athlete, I bring an authentic understanding of sports culture and storytelling, allowing me to adapt quickly, collaborate seamlessly, and deliver cohesive visual content that is both engaging and meaningful.
