Shortly after earning my graphic design degree, I was recruited to work/mentor with outdoor commercial lifestyle/studio photographer John Laptad. This led to working with talented teams at innovative young startups, small to mid-sized companies, to freelance client-facing work with small local businesses to build effective marketing assets for their product or service.
