Blending street culture with family roots, I'm a creative force in the fashion and design industry with over two decades of experience. My journey has taken me from the gritty authenticity of screen printing at Keanen Duffty to crafting visually striking apparel graphics for Jordan Brand's NCAA collections that stand out on television. At Jordan Brand, I've led women's apparel graphics, integrating lifestyle trends with empowerment and athleticism. My work extends to hyperlocal graphics that resonate with specific communities and playful creations for JORDAN Kids Footwear and Packaging. Throughout my career, I've fostered cross-functional collaboration to deliver innovative design strategies that align perfectly with brand identities. My experience as a Wear Tester at Adidas Skateboarding honed my understanding of the delicate balance between style and performance, informing my approach to design across all projects. This unique perspective, combined with my roles at Deutsch Family Wine & Spirits and my educational background in Graphic Design and Early Childhood Education, allows me to tackle complex problems with curiosity and passion. As a dad, husband, skateboarder, snowboarder, artist, and person of color, I infuse my work with the rich tapestry of my experiences. My proficiency in Adobe Creative Suite, Keynote, and Figma, coupled with strong project management skills, enables me to bring both technical expertise and creative vision to every project. I'm passionate about uniting diverse stories through art and design, creating products that speak to our shared experiences. Let's connect and bring your vision to life!More...
