When the Atlanta Pride Board selected me to design the visual identity for the 2026 festival theme, "Louder and Prouder," it felt like a full-circle moment. I attended my first Atlanta Pride in 2019 while a student at Georgia State University. Over the years, my connection to this community has evolved in countless ways, but my passion for visual storytelling has remained constant. Getting to use my creative background to serve the very community that shaped me has been an i

Nothing says summer quite like the taste of a fresh, local tomato. When the opportunity came up to create new merchandise designs for the Virginia Highland Farmers Market, I knew instantly what needed to take center stage. From initial inspiration to rough sketches and finally to approved artwork, this project was a total dream to bring to life. From Inspo to Final Artwork The goal was simple: capture the bright, welcoming energy of a local market in a design people would act

This was my second year in a row developing and designing the branding for the Virginia Highland District Association's biggest event, and honestly, it just gets better every single time.

Last week, I traded my usual work from home office view for the neon lights of Nashville, TN. I wasn't just there for the music, I was there to witness a first of its kind celebration of the five freedoms that make our country move! Alongside the teams at Freedom Forum and Made By Us , I headed to the Bridgestone Arena for the first ever Freely Fest , a music festival designed to celebrate the First Amendment and the power of music.

It’s officially been a year since I stepped in as a Graphic Designer for the Virginia Highland District Association , and honestly, it’s been a whirlwind of neighborhood events, sponsor logo organization, and creative freedom! If you know Atlanta, you know Virginia Highland (VaHi) is one of the city’s most iconic and historic neighborhoods. My job? Assisting the creative direction and visual storytelling for the district.
