I was born in Culver City, Califor-nia in September of 1996. I knew early on that I was destined for a career that involved creativity and inter-acting with people. I started my career developing, promoting, creating, and launching brand spe-cific product marketing.

I am able to teach and mentor a creative staff while developing cutting edge campaigns. I have learned to multi-task, collaborate with staff and management in a corporate setting and implement those work ethics in an agency environment. I relished in an at-mosphere that allowed creative freedom and the opportunities de-veloping award winning and suc-cessful concepts for Fortune 500 Companies across multiple indus-tries, landscapes and medias.

Going on 18 years in this industry I look forward to pushing the en-velope of design and development producing campaigns to launch new start-up companies or brand existing companies to separate them from competition.

Regardless the task, my imagination awaits.

The music was bumpingin the back ground while they didtheir “thang”.“B,” used a mans armas a canvas to construct a picture ofan eagle. Tattoo Mike was finishingup a music note on a guy's upperwrist that turned out really nice. Iwas captivated by the steadiness ofB's hand while his client did not fretfrom the pain that was beingadministered to him.
