LEARN ABOUT ME
My Mission
As a graduate of Columbia College Chicago, I began my career with a passion for bringing creative ideas to life. Over time, I recognized a common challenge: many clients struggle to define exactly what they want from their projects. In industries such as social media marketing, social media management, photography, videography, and graphic design, it's become all too common for professionals to adopt a hands-off approach, leaving clients disconnected from the creative process and more likely to be dissatisfied with the outcome of their project.
I believe in a different way of working—one where collaboration is at the heart of every project. My mission is to partner closely with clients, treating each project as if it were my own. I take pride in breaking down every detail with care and purpose to ensure that the end result truly reflects the vision of the client and is completed to higher standard.
MY ACCOMPLISHMENTS
Throughout my career, I have dedicated myself to achieving meaningful goals through hard work and a commitment to growth. My journey began at Elgin Community College, where I discovered a passion for photography that blossomed into a love for digital arts. I graduated with an Associate's degree, maintaining a perfect 4.0 GPA and earning multiple placements on the Dean's List.
Building on this foundation, I moved on to Columbia College Chicago, where I earned the Dean's Scholarship and the Columbia Scholar Award as well as several more listings among the Dean's List. My education, while not entirely consisting of just achievements, was full of exciting opportunities and projects that helped me learn and grow along the way. After graduating with a Bachelor’s degree in Graphic Design and Photography and a 3.75 GPA, I left Columbia feeling both accomplished and inspired.
Columbia allowed me to explore several different courses that complemented both my major and my minor. I was able to find a liking in marketing and advertising as well as videography and printmaking. My professors made my experience outside the classroom grow to great lengths by incorporating projects that required us to work with outside resources and find creative solutions to common problems that we would encounter in our future careers.
After graduating, I was brought onto two companies under a shared leadership as a part-time content creator but I was quickly able to exceed expectation and moved into a full-time creative direction roll. Once entering this roll I maintained all previous responsibilites and added several new responsibilites that allowed me to really stretch my creative muscles. I overlooked all content creation, social media, marketing, advertising, design, web design, photography, and videography projects for both of the companies. These projects allowed me to cultivate a vast network of professional relationships with several leading creators and companies in the industry, some of the most notable includes Porsche, Toyota, HKS Japan, and SavageGeese. The experiences I've had and the opportunities bestowed upon me have been some of the best learning experiences I've ever had and I cant wait to experience more.
