The ole
During my first year at East Carolina I ran for Vice President for my dorm, Scott Hall. I designed the following campaign poster 10 years ago using Microsoft Paint. After getting elected, I organized and hosted an Open Mic night. It was a big hit with students from other dorms even showing up.
First Test
Shortly after graduating, A temp agency placed me at a local Healthcare company where I was dropped in and responsible for the convoluted "Credentialing Process"; even management wasn't completely sure of the procedure. So to assist our therapist with the process I organically created the following infographic. Turning a 40 hour a week job into 8, I used my free time to create excel macros for other departments and took on the responsibility of creating a social media presence.
Heating up
I had a dream, and I purchased a retired box truck off eBay, drove it back from Georgia, and then proceeded to revitalize it into a completely operational food truck. (side note, my truck was even approved by Wake County's, Rebecca Robbins; a notoriously difficult process. So much so, that at the time Durham had over 300 trucks, when Raleigh only had 70.)
Bigger and better
Inspired by the food truck, for our last group project in UNC's fullstack program, our group was able to create a fully functional website and mobile app to track and find local food trucks; all in less then 3 weeks. I gave each of my group members equity for what they help me create. I even drove to Kentucky to audition for the television show Shark Tank.
constantly growing
After trading in my apron for a chainsaw, I ventured into the woods seeking to help homeowners with the difficulties of fallen trees. I created the following logo and responsive website using React and React Spring. It was a fun job, but I quickly realized it was better to work smarter not harder.
Upward Momementum
For the last 3 years while working for Welcome Home Properties of NC. A real estate company specializing in buying distressed homes, and then selling them via owner financing. On my own accord to boost efficiency I designed the envelope above to mail out, and created the following responsive fullstack website.
in a different light
A simple idea of using a thermal camera to scientifically document a home's efficiency and weak points. The logo was outsourced, but the website was created with WordPress. I also designed the following door hangers for marketing.
Most notably
Streaming 24/7 on Twitch, focused entirely on community and positivity; BeeEz is a completely free & ad free radio station I built for the world. I even developed a weather app that refreshes automatically every 3 mins displaying the current temperature.
“I didn’t fail 1,000 times. The light bulb was an invention with 1,000 steps.”
Genereating Value
I started working on my own vehicles to save on costs and become self-reliant. Since then it has grown into restoring classic autos, more specifically 1970/1980 Fords.
Initially trying to grow strawberries outside, I quickly realized the benefits of hydroponics and fine tuning the plants environment. The setup is fully autonomous and I'll be attempting watermelons this spring.
