My work is mostly centered around graphic design and art direction, however as part of the UNT-International Communications team I am also responsible for campaign strategy, management of the brand and providing assessment. Projects encompass print, outdoor, video and social media.

I worked a production assistant on long-form branded content programs, doing everything from research to hiring staff for shoots.

I was responsible for general news stories and writing the weekly biographical section, "Canyon People," along with photography as needed.

My foray into video as an undergraduate and my stint as an intern at CNBC Europe's creative solutions division created an insatiable appetite to learn more about how brands can become conduits for compelling stories that change the way we think and feel.

A small university and an open minded advisor allowed me to study not only mass communication but also delve into digital photography, design and some basic video production. I also managed to walk away with a minor in music.
