    I am an experienced and energetic artist with a passion for digital design and illustrations - I am also highly skilled in freehand sketching (bonus!). With an extensive design knowledge base and a willingness to learn and apply new techniques - I offer outstanding support and cooperation to my clients. I am continually adding new skills as needed to keep up new industry trends. Clients are highly impressed with my ability to create a verbally described design by freehand sketch, then convert it to a final digital design. Over the years I have created brand logos, characters, social media/web assets, powerpoints/presentations, infographics, video editing, t shirt designs, book covers, flyers, brochures, business cards, and much more. I also offer 1 on 1 Adobe Illustrator training via zoom. Learn the basics or advanced skills. This helpful for the non-designer, who simply wants to make small edits without the need to bother their designer (i.e. color changes, font changes, etc.). Also helpful for those looking to get into design or experienced designers looking for help with advanced training. Adobe Illustrator provides the option to create more defined/sharp graphics and the abiliy to create vector graphics (most often used for web). Rate: $150/hour This is my full-time career. I am located in central standard time zone, and I am flexible with respect to working hours.

    Watching your carefully crafted ideas fall flat in a presentation isn't just disappointing—it's costly. At ProCreativ Solutions, I transform high-stakes presentations into compelling business narratives that continue selling your vision long after you've left the room. My clients come to me when they're tired of micromanaging creative projects while juggling core responsibilities, when inconsistent designs undermine their brand authority, or when they simply can't afford another missed opportunity due to underwhelming materials. Working with financial services and healthcare executives, I helped clients secure funding through strategic presentation redesigns. My clients consistently increase stakeholder approval rates drastically after our presentation overhaul—all completed within a condensed two-week timeline. My approach eliminates the endless revision cycles that drain your time: Day 1: Deep-dive strategy session to capture your core message and business context Week 1: Initial designs with 2 guaranteed revision rounds (most clients only need one) Final week: Delivery of presentation plus templates for your team's ongoing use Let's discuss your upcoming presentation needs and how we can transform them from a source of stress into your most powerful persuasion tool.

    My college degree is in fine art with an emphasis in painting and drawing, but I have made a living as a graphic designer. I have had some pretty cool opportunities doing everything from branding companies to creating logos to designing for the ESPN XGames and College Football Playoffs. I believe it is essential to be multi-faceted when it comes to a designer's skill set and am always willing to expand my knowledge and experience whether it's in Photoshop, Illustrator, sketching with a pencil, or any of the other creative outlets that pique my interest. I consider myself a perfectionist and set the bar very high in all that I do. Nobody is going to have a higher expectation when it comes to the quality of the final product than I am.

    Thanks for stopping by! I'm a full-time graphic/website designer. With 10+ years of full-time experience in the industry, I take a fluff-free, no-nonsense approach to every project I work on.

    I'm a Christian minister and graduate theology student that is also involved in all things creative and entrepreneurial. Written communication and creativity are some of my biggest strengths! My specialty is writing on Christianity and theology, but my personal interests in sports, music, and culture also enable me to produce great content in those areas. My studies have given me experience in understanding and applying theology, Biblical Greek and Hebrew, Biblical interpretation, church history, preaching and apologetics. I've had numerous opportunities to put these things into practice as I am ministering at a church in Kansas City. I am experienced in preaching, studying and teaching the Bible, and writing content varying from a few hundred to tens of thousands of words. I have written everything from graduate research papers and sermons to articles and children's Bible lessons. I'm able to tailor my communication in the way which best caters to your target audience! I have also owned and operated my own faith-based clothing business for the past 4 years, so I'd love to use my experience in graphic design, marketing, and entrepreneurship to take your project to the next level. I'd love to help you bring your ideas to life through written, visual, and/or aural communication. I'm looking forward to working together to make the vision for your project a reality!
