_________
I am an aspiring graphic artist who recently finished a BA in Studio Art with a double minor in Corporate Strategy and a History of Art at Vanderbilt University in 2016. My goal is to use the power of imagery and the emotion it conveys to unite people around a shared passion and further their relationship with the company behind it.
My goals were directly influenced by my own personal experiences as I suffered a series of concussions on the sporting field. I know first-hand how art can lift you out of depression and enrich your life – and I’ve had success in sharing my knowledge with others to also help them overcome their own adversities.
