About

With a Master's degree in Web Design & New Media from Kennesaw State University and a Bachelor's degree in Industrial / Organizational Psychology from Oakwood University, I have a strong educational background. I have served as a Web & Media Creative Director at LK Media and Design, leading web development projects for clients such as McDonalds, Chevron, and Shell. Additionally, I have worked as a Web Administrator at the State Road & Tollway Authority, where I managed internal and public websites and integrated web operations with other agency systems. My experience also includes serving as a Project Designer at the U.S. Department of Commerce, where I designed space/floor plans and developed graphics for product illustrations and company logos. Throughout my career, I have demonstrated expertise in web design, project management, and creative direction, leveraging my skills in AEM, Premier, Photoshop, and InDesign to deliver high-quality results.
