A FULL PICTURE CREATIVE

As a dedicated graphic designer and experienced production professional, I bring a comprehensive understanding of how to craft impactful church services and campaigns that honor God and move people to action.

My background spans visual design, creative strategy, live production—including hands-on experience as a lighting director and live producer, as well as leading creative work within the digital advertising and nonprofit fundraising space. This range of experience allows me to design visually compelling, immersive environments and campaigns that are both emotionally resonant and strategically effective.

I am deeply passionate about blending art, technology, and faith to evoke human emotion, tell meaningful stories, and inspire people to pursue something bigger than themselves—ultimately honoring a God who delights in beauty, creativity, and intentional design.

VISUAL EXPERIENCE DESIGN

A huge focus of my design journey over the past 6 years was having the opportunity to design monthly graphics packages for Red Rocks Church Young Adults. The cadence of consistently delivering fresh, cohesive visual systems for stage, screen, and social media challenged me to push boundaries, refine my process, and develop a strong visual identity.

This body of work represents not only my technical capability, but also my evolution as a designer — shaped by rhythm, intentionality, and the pursuit of meaningful storytelling through design.
