Logo Creation & Redesigns
From concept to conception, logo creation combines a long-term relationship with traditional mediums of art with the technical aspect of graphic design, as well as the psychological aspects of brand marketing. Previous experience includes logo creation for restaurants, nautical flags, storage unit facilities, non-profit organizations, and event logos. For examples please see portfolio.
Social Media Content Consultation & Management
Social Media has become the window of transparency into a brand from the consumer perspective, and is inherently important in brand reputation management. From written captions to comment/message responses, the words you use and your presence with quality content will have a huge effect on your brand. As someone who has been in the brand management world since the beginning days of instagram and facebook, the experience and track record of growth stands. I offer consultation services and/or account creation + management on a retainer basis.
Instructor- Private Events
With a long-term background in the traditional arts- something I simply grew up around and working towards- and a love for teaching others, I offer instruction for both public and private painting events, with set up similar to those like "Painting with a Twist".
Instructor- All things Boating
As someone with a huge passion for the lake life and the boating industry, I'm adamant on helping spread safe boating habits as widely as possible. I also know how intimidating it can be getting behind the wheel or up on a board for the first time, and strive to create a comfortable and encouraging environment. I offer private and class-based instruction on driving boats, boating safety, and all towed watersports.
Photography
Still in the learning phases of my photography experience, but always striving for excellence and continuing improvement, I love being behind the lens as much as being in front of it. I've served as the in-house photographer for Texas Ski Ranch, Boat Town, Boat Town Burger Bar, Boat Town Boutique and Patio 2900, and have worked as a freelance photographer on maternity and engagement style photos. Comfortable creating poses and having a vision for the final product, I specialize in lifestyle and portraits.
