WHO I AM
I was one of the thousands that took the streets of Pittsburgh in 2009 to see the Stanley Cup in person. That's me, in the masses, right behind star center Sidney Crosby. A year after the parade, I graduated from the University of Pittsburgh (Let's Go Pitt!). I got my degree in Marketing with a Certificate in Digital Media from that fabulous institution. Now I’m hanging out in Cincinnati where I work at a cool advertising agency, Barefoot Proximity. Life is good.
I'm all self-taught. Take a look below at some of my work.
WHAT I'VE DONE
THE ART INSTITUTES
While interning with the Education Management Corporation, I was tasked to redesign the Art Institutes Twitter and YouTube pages. Using previously created assets, I brought the pages to life with Art Institutes equity. The designs lived on both sites for over a year.
HEAVENLY HOOKAH LOUNGE
Heavenly Hookah Lounge is a Hookah Bar located just outside of Pittsburgh. For this site design, I used HTML and CSS with some javascript. The logo and design pieces were all created in Photoshop. View the live site at heavenlyhookahlounge.com
PROTEIN SQUARED
I was instructed to design the packaging for a unique "square" protein bar, Protein Squared, during my senior year of college. Both designs offered a different perspective on what the client wanted to see, and the chocolate company that produced the bar was pleased with both variations.
LOGOS
This sample of logos contains designs for sugu.com, Performance Home Staging, Sport Speak, Show Boat Shirts and The Decisions Group, LLC. With logo
design, I typically will go with a minimalistic design in Adobe Illustrator and touch it up in Photoshop.
DOUBLE EAGLE PROMOTIONS
Although the silhouette version of this project was not chosen, I wanted to feature it and show two versions presented for this particular job. This flyer was made as a general descriptor of what the company, Double Eagle Promotions, does as a whole. View the full image to see the flyer that they chose to print.
PERFORMANCE HOME STAGING
Performance Home Staging is a home staging company located in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Their site was built on HTML, CSS and Javascript. I also created the logo and internal design elements on the site.
PITTSBURGH STEELERS
A video tribute to the Pittsburgh Steeler's [losing] Super Bowl 2010 - 2011 football season. The video moves to the breathtaking song, Time, which is composed by Hans Zimmer on the soundtrack from the movie "Inception".

WHERE I WANT TO GO
I want to build stuff.
I’ve become more and more comfortable with front-end development - HTML and CSS are my pals.
I’m going to continue to work on my own ideas, learning as I grow wiser.
I’ll be sure to add them to this portfolio as the projects are completed.
I want to play golf.
Maybe someday those ideas will turn to gold.
I want to help you.
