Video

      In the fall of 2017, I was asked to produce this music video for Phantom Driver. I have made fun video compilations of trips in the past but, I had never had the opportunity to do something like this before. It was an intense project that tested my skills as a creative. This project allowed me to explore my boundaries and determine how far I could push myself to use multiple platforms in an effort to make this final piece come to life. Not to mention scheduling all of the locations and filming in different lighting situations. The artist was very happy with the result of my work. It was fun working on this project with him and learning just how sentimental this video was to his personal background. All of this footage was shot using my Canon EOS 80D.

Branding

      When I was hired to work for the Abbott Law Group as their Social Media Specialist, I immediately took an interest in re-branding the firm. This brand identity was selected to define the law firm as a bold, united group with a Floridian presence. Fred Catfish Abbott had a large influence on the creative direction of the brand due to his involvement at the University of Florida where he played football and later earned his law school degree. In addition, Catfish was inducted into the Gator Hall of Fame in 1988. With the release of our new look, I was tasked with applying the latest logo and branding concept to all of our social media channels and our website platform. My photography is featured within the slider on the homepage and for a select few of the head shots under the "Attorneys" tab in the "About Us" section (I am currently trying to schedule out the remaining head shots). I also designed icons to represent each specific practice area that we offer.

Published

      I had the pleasure of being asked to capture some images for Hope Haven to be used on a mail out flyer. Again, I am responsible for the images featured above and not the design or content of the actual flyer. This was such a genuine photo shoot that allowed our talents to be themselves. All we did was hand them sunglasses and let them loose on the playground. I loved being a part of this short and simple shoot.

T-SHIRT DESIGNS

      Childhood is something near and precious to everyone. Parents caring for their children and watching them grow. Children growing and creating memories that will last them a lifetime. It's a cyclical motion for us all. This project involved so much more than a simple t-shirt and koozie design. I was tasked with honoring the life of a childhood friend and neighbor from which of whom I had matured with, learned how to rollerblade from, run around with as a kid and had grown to love his family much like my very own. I was flattered to be asked by the Edwards' family to create and design something that would capture their appreciation for the St. Johns River as well as the activities they enjoyed sharing with JR. I can't describe how fortunate I am to know this family and what a blessing it has been to grow up around them. This will always be a project that I will refer to as one of the most emotional pieces that I have designed and one that is completely unforgettable.

      In the fall of 2014, there was a competition held among UNF Eco Adventure employees to create a t-shirt design. My design was chosen and then implemented for creating the shirts. Originally, these shirts were produced for only the staff until we began receiving numerous accounts of positive feedback from campus. So, it was deemed necessary to allow the faculty and students to purchase them as well. I received no profit from this project and $3 was donated to our Nature Trail Foundation for every short sleeve t-shirt that was sold. Hoodies and long sleeve t-shirts also became available for sale but no money was collected or donated from those sales.

     I also took part in adding color to the UNF Eco Adventure gear check-out office. I painted on the front check-out stand at the window and the interior borders of the check-out window. The designs were inspired by the trips we sponsored for both the students and our staff. My boss and I decided on the bright and bold colors for the office space. Originally, the office had been tan and a deep forest green. It was so bland but now it stands as a rich and colorful place of work that continues to be fueled by the University's passion for the outdoors. 

CREATIVE

         I shot and designed an EP album cover for Northe, a local band in Jacksonville, Florida. It was pretty neat to be involved in the band's effort to create this album cover and I truly enjoyed being the creative support behind their ideas. The front cover piece can even be spotted on one of the outside doors of Burro Bar, located in downtown Jacksonville, since it was printed as a sticker. Anyhow, I take pride in this piece because I know it's out there now as a part of someone's CD collection and I can take some ownership in that.
