Hello!
I'm a college graduate from the University of Texas at Arlington, where I received a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Visual Communications (Graphic Design) in May of 2018. In the spring of 2018, I interned with FC Dallas, the Major League Soccer (MLS) team in the Dallas/Fort Worth area. After graduating, I took some time with my family before working at a Boy Scouts of America summer camp in eastern Oklahoma.
Once summer camp season came to an end, I began working with a new bicycle shop in the north Arlington, Texas area, Trek Bicycles of Arlington. I created social media posts, organized events, and designed various marketing items, as well as did sales on the floor. After a few months, I packed everything and my dog, Banjo (the little guy in the photo!), and moved to Colorado Springs, Colorado, a city and state I’ve only spent time passing through. I moved to work with Professional Bull Riders (PBR) in Pueblo, Colorado, where I worked from April of 2019 until the end of September of 2021, creating designs on an international scale for the U.S., Canada, and Australia.
After PBR, I returned to my alma mater, where I worked from October of 2021 to August 2022 in the Athletics department. While with UTA, I was able to create content for a team that went to March Madness (for the first time since 2007!), dive deeper into sports photography, produce a basketball game, and led the charge on the new season designs. After UTA, I transitioned to working with the WNBA’s Dallas Wings and NLL’s Panther City Lacrosse Club in August of 2022. While with them, I spent most of my time designing for PCLC and was given the opportunity to design everything from giveaway items to in-arena assets to game-worn uniforms. In May of 2023, I was offered a role with the Wake Forest University Athletics Department in North Carolina, and look forward to where this journey takes Banjo and I!
Banjo and I love camping, traveling, and hanging out on the couch reading. Last summer, I added a rooftop tent to my car, which allows Banjo and I even more ease to go camping at any moment. There’s nothing like sitting by a campfire with a dog snuggled up with you, deeply invested in a new book!
