The Romp 5k Road Race, what more do I need to say? The name is crazy enough! This was a T-Shirt design for JZ Designs. The words "The Romp" were provided and all surrounding graphics were generated by me. I love running so this was a fun project to be a part of.

DirectBuy

Website design for Red Ventures. DirectBuy's current brand is white space, reds, blacks, etc. I was thinking way outside the box on this one and unfortunately it was not chosen as a concept to develop further. Needless to say, I enjoyed it.

Graffiti by yours truly!

graffiti design, messing around

I try to get my mind set outside of the every day routine by trying new things that I observe in my surroundings. I've always had a fascination with Graffiti, so every once and a while Ill take a crack at it. Maybe one day I can step it up and break out the spray cans with the fat tips.

Sandman Gourmet Deli

sandman gourmet deli designed for PRstore

This was one of the comps I put together at the PRstore, it wasn't the one chosen in the end but was my favorite overall. Most of their photos fit well into the top portion of the site, lasagna, salads, soups, etc, which made it intereting while switching pages. Overall this was a fun site to design!

Who is this guy?

Well, let see, where do I start? I moved up the east coast until I eventually settled here in Charlotte, NC attending the University of UNC - Charlotte. I graduated, obtaining a BFA with a concentration in Graphic Design. I quickly moved to doing both Print and Web and eventually transferred to doing Web almost 100% of the time. I guess its the constant evolving of this medium that keeps me mesmerized.
