15+ years DESIGNing & Marketing with brands
teamwork makes the dream work
Design & marketing at Talkiatry
At Talkiatry, I have been a part of both design and marketing teams to see a small psychiatry company in New York grow to 43 markets, becoming one of the largest psychiatry practices in the United States. Here’s what I’ve learned.
The Agency of Tanner+West
Being a creative director at a marketing agency involves solving problems for a diverse range of clients. In this role, I had the opportunity to work with a talented team of designers, web developers, and videographers, to effectively communicate our clients' messages. Here’s what I gained.
Brand and Storytelling
A good brand should tell a story of who the organization is and where the organization is headed. It’s why businesses, churches, and schools have asked me to help with brand development and rebrands. Here’s how I create the narrative.
T-Shirts & Printing
At 18, I asked my parents to co-sign a $7500 loan to buy my screen-printing equipment and start my own business. Since then, I've gained a lot of experience in the print industry and have designed over 10,000+ graphics for apparel, book covers, magazines, posters, vinyl wraps, event displays, promotional products, and more.
Church & growth
I earned a bachelor's degree in psychology focused on counseling, motivated by my desire to help others. This journey led me to one-on-one counseling, team building, and public speaking, while also leveraging my design and marketing experience. To this day, I still use my experiences in pastoring, design, and marketing to consult with organizations to help them succeed. Here’s how I’ve grown.
Music & Fun
I have written and recorded tracks for advertising, and as a hobby, I’ve written, recorded and produced two rock music albums under the name, My Cavernoma. Here’s the creative hobby.
