More Than a Designer

About Me

Life looks a little different when you’re chasing your dreams while raising a family, but life has a way of leading us back to the things we love. For me, that path has been anything but straight. From working tradesman jobs, to running my course through the Air Force. Balancing college as an older adult while taking care of my wife and kids has been both challenging and deeply rewarding. Every day is a lesson in patience, purpose, and persistence. I would say anyone could do it, but it takes a level of grit and dedication that not everyone can obtain, thankfully for me my wife helped me achieve it. I’ve learned that passion doesn’t fade with age, it just grows stronger with more purpose. Reconnecting with photography has reminded me why I fell in love with creativity in the first place. Capturing a moment, creating a memory through my lens has become my way of slowing down and appreciating the small things in everyday life. That same energy carries over into my work in media design, finding ways to blend images, colors, and typography into something meaningful. This chapter of my life has been about rediscovery of art, balance, and self. The journey has shown me that it’s never too late to chase what inspires you. Balancing family, work, and school hasn’t been easy, but every late night has proven to be worth it. Through it all, I’ve learned that inspiration often comes from the people we love the most and the moments we work the hardest for. I hope that my work reflects not just my growth as a creator, but also the joy that comes from following your passion, no matter where life may find you. Most of all I hope that my journey reminds others and inspires others to chase their dreams.
