I currently handle over 100 projects a month personally and supervise a group of designers and videographers who handle over 500 projects a month collectively.
We will always have those projects we don’t care for, but we can still do them with enthusiasm. It may not be my favorite project, but it will be the best dang looking least favorite project I’ve ever done!
Difficult clients are a dime a dozen, but it’s important to remember that they have a vision, too! I want to make sure THIER vision happens, not what I think their vision should be.

While currently leading a team of Graphic Designers and Videographers, I have led and trained individuals in design, video, audio, web and photography.
Work-life balance is important to me. I am willing to work overtime to make sure a client gets what they want when they want it, but I firmly believe that if you work smart and respect deadlines, you rarely have to sacrifice that family time.

Design is getting smarter every day, literally. I have handled the visual design side as well as small bits of Java Script of a machine learning program geared towards offering guests instant personalized offers based on their transactional history. It has been fun to learn how to meld artificial intelligence and design.
Everything is changing around us. As creatives it is our job to adapt to the changes and figure out how to best represent them in a beautiful way.
