Using my background in web design, ux design, and branding I was able to serve as both a branding consultant and website designer to our clients.

Creative Director
Little Trailer Studio was the name of my design studio while I was freelancing. During this time I created brand identities and websites for small businesses such as photographers, boutique shops, and online businesses to name a few. Working one-on-one with clients and creating brands from start to finish has given me that "birds' eye view" that is often needed of a creative director a well as an attention-to-detail that is needed of a graphic designer. I love the combination of concept and execution within my current design work and it is an area that I thrive in.
