digital design

Choosing a focused path to follow throughout one’s college education can be a daunting task. It has been the primary conflict in many films, tv shows, books, and has occupied many family dinner conversations. This theme has been closely explored from another perspective too: media focused on underdogs. You know, kids from “the other side of the tracks?” The cards are stacked against them; they usually beat all odds via a less traditional route and the crowd cheers. Then there are people like me. I am not sure what you would call my journey leading up to and into college; probably something closer to the latter trope. It would be reasonable to liken it to a dark comedy—think Wes Anderson films, but everything really did happen that way. I am thankful for laughter. It truly is good medicine.

Childhood, teenage years, and early adult years were all spent expecting to die soon (for various reasons) and at various times, they were also spent trying to die. As you can imagine, and perhaps have experienced for yourself, that can make it difficult to ideate about the future. So, how on earth did I end up full of life, not only in college, but with full assurance that Digital Design is the field for me? That’s a longer story, but it all begins and ends with Jesus Christ, the Alpha and Omega, the Way, the Truth, the Life, the One who died to pay my debt of sin and rose from the grave to reconcile me to Himself. So then, my life is His and what He wants me to do, with the help of His Holy Spirit, I do. In this case, that is digital design in college.

In digital design, I bring my wonder, my critical eye for detail, my people-watching observations, and my problem-solving skills to the table. I have a good eye for color, movement, shape, structure, and intuition for curating designs specific to the person, community, or business for which I am creating. I love swinging through my senses archives to pull up whatever stored data would prove useful for any given project. My aim is to remove barriers, to get straight to the heart the matter and to the hearts of the people.
