graphic designer & photographer based in hickory, nc

For the last 15+ years, I have translated my passion and talent into strengthening an organization’s branding, product messages, and consumer communication. I’ve also developed the unique skill set of creating high quality graphics under extreme deadline pressure. Photography and graphic design are some of the most powerful ways I express myself, and am fortunate to have made a career out of doing something I love. 

As a member of Hickory’s small but vibrant creative community, I bring a different perspective to my work. Whether I’m photographing the exceptional landscapes of the Western Blue Ridge, creating the life for a brand or setting the look for a hip new hemp store, I always strive to put the story first.
