Freelance Graphic Designer
Conscious Minds Productions2014 – Present
I have had the opportunity to work as a freelancer helping with support graphics at a boutique ad agency in Pasadena, CA. I have helped with a branding/identity project for their main client Nike Running. We were working to create an identity for an event that Nike is going to be putting on. We created a logo, poster ideas, social media collateral, and even some urban marketing ideas. I have also helped with some ideation and conceptualizing of a few of their other clients. We also built some power-point decks for a potential client pitch.
Creative Designer
the Stirring2006 – 2014
I volunteered over many years at my church doing all sorts of design stuff. I was creating graphics for post cards, business cards, club card flyers, logos, series images, web graphics, social media graphics, t-shirt designs, and any other things we needed. I created a website for them, and I also maintained and redesigned it over the years. I was also helping out with photography and video when I was able to. I lead some teams and helped to organize the process for communication and design stuff.
Web Designer / Graphic Designer
Fellowship Church2012 – 2013
My job was to design, and sometimes build, websites. From a sketch to a final .PSD file that would be handed off to be coded. I worked with WireFrames and sketches to get a basic direction and the created a mock-up in Photoshop that would go through multiple revisions until the final product was then handed off to be coded. I did some social media design as well as implementing. Anything that could have to do with web design I was asked to see what I could do to make it look good. I also did a little bit of event photography during conferences and special events.
