Currently employed as a graphic designer in Charlotte N.C. by Portland based advertising agency HMH. I work on several accounts under the Daimler Chrysler & Freightliner corporations including Detroit Diesel, Sterling trucks, and Thomas Built buses. My current position is "Studio Artist" which is a hybrid position that entails some art direction as well as pre-press production responsibilities.
2006 to 2007
Triovisions is a Wilmington N.C. based creative shop that provides solutions from web to print to a.v. Working for a small shop that does everything in house produced some great opportunities to work in all mediums. I provided art direction for interactive, web, environmental, print, and publication design for accounts such as Atlanta based airport Hartsfield Jackson, Duplin Winery, Century 21, Intracoastal realty and Topsail Magazine. Widow be gone.
2004-2006
I started my career freelancing for Raleigh based ad agency Rocket Burkhead and Winslow under the art direction or Rick Binger. I helped concept and produce 3D trade show and kiosk environments for Lowes lumber yard and CREE technologies using lightwave 3D. From there I freelanced for Maverick Marketing out of Cary N.C. and brought in several of my own clients to keep the bills paid. Widow be gone.
2002-2003
In my college years I had an epiphany and decided to throw minimum wage to the curb by developing hondahopup.com. I targeted a niche market that was on the rise after the "The Fast and the Furious" hit the big screen. I offered around 3,000 products from which I drop shipped with my logo and invoice from a Cali based warehouse distributor. My big sellers we're imported engines from Japan in which I managed to hold google top 5 rankings for the most sought after engines. I later sold the website in order to focus my attention to school and design. Honda motors now owns the domain name, not sure what the plans for the site are but I got a good run out of it.
