BIO
I have had a large range of opportunities for my work, including web design, printed materials, video editing, filming, photography, motion design and much more. With 10+ years of experience using Photoshop and the rest of the Adobe Creative Suite, I have gained familiarity with different types of image and graphic design work. I earned a Bachelors of Science Degree in Film & Video Production from Grand Valley State University, which allowed me to grow and explore my talents in the video field. This included many small projects, short films and experience working full-time for 40 days on a feature length film, To Live and Die In Dixie. During college, I worked for three years at GVSU's bookstore, becoming the lead website content designer, while still working on small signage packages to be displayed inside the store. After graduating, I was hired as an Assistant Editor at Grace & Wild, located in Farmington Hills, Michigan. For three years with Grace & Wild, I worked on television commercials and feature film post production jobs for a wide array of local and national clients. In June of 2011, I began working for RingSide Creative, located in Oak Park, Michigan.
