Design + CREATIVITY

I am a high level creative and industry leader with theological background and pastoral experience, producing premiere faith-based marketing campaigns, design systems, and brand identities that tell stories, create intrigue, drive conversions.

I am experience in commercial photography, art direction for production and post production. As well as the Adobe Creative Suite specifically: Illustrator, Photoshop, Premiere, After Effects, and Indesign.

COMMUNICATION

After years of public speaking, officiating weddings, funerals, not to mention pioneering a campus ministry, and wrangling rowdy wedding parties on the weekends... I have come to realize how important succinct communication is!

Experience in scripting, copywriting, and developing social media content has given me plenty of opportunity to define and simplify complex details into a palatable message! 

I believe this makes me a great candidate for a remote position as well as a great team member!

CURIOSITY

One of the markers of my life is curiosity. I am always learning, always trying to figure out how things work, podcasting, reading, discussing, and trying new things. 

For example: During the COVID-19 Pandemic, I found myself stuck at home with more time than I knew what to do with. So I decided I was going to plant a garden. I built the garden box, I researched the best soil, and found the appropriate seedlings for our climate. Now, we have more lettuce than we know what to do with. 

This same curiosity has hit me with cooking, baking, renovations... and most deeply creative work. I am a life long learner!

SERVICE

I believe in a life of service. Service to my community, my team, my family, and our clients. I think if you commit to excellent work and approach it with a servant heart, you will find success. 

I am an enneagram 6W3. A loyalist and achiever. When I find someone I can trust, I am loyal to a fault and will GET. STUFF. DONE!

Hey!
I genuinely want to thank you for taking time to view my online resume. I really do appreciate you taking time to review and consider me as a candidate for the position!

In any creative endeavour, I think it is like a game of golf (which I suck at) our only competition is ourselves. With that, I am committed to a life of constantly learning, challenging myself, asking questions and googling answers in order to level up.

Let's chat soon!
