I recently had the pleasure of chatting with Blake Howard from The Creative Rising Podcast about my career path and how I tackle the product and process of creating highly-visible design for professional sports teams and leagues..

As creative professionals, I believe it is imperative to our development to wipe our palette of the routine of our day to day work lives, get outside our comfort zones, unplug, and open ourselves to be influenced and inspired by something, someone, and somewhere new. My recent photo expedition to China trip lived up to all of my expectations.

On May 23, 2019 I was humbly inducted into the 10th annual Full Sail Center for the Media Arts Hall of Fame class.

I'm drawn to the contrast of humanizing our players to compliment the typical sports photograph where we immortalize the athlete. When you strip away the uniforms, the physique, and athletic movements, you are left with the center of emotion; the face, which allows us to connect in an authentic and relatable manner.

I was recently honored to be a guest at Creative Mornings ATL, joined by colleague and friend Skate Noftsigner, Sr Director of Marketing for Atlanta United as we talked about the success of Atlanta United and the differences in marketing and creative for two of the cities professional sports teams.

Creativity on demand can be taxing, and when there is no downtime, we often find ourselves looking for inspiration in the same familiar places. Visiting the same sites and following the same social accounts. But as creatives, it is essential that we continue to push ourselves and let new experiences inspire us.

We followed Jake Matthews from the second he stepped off the stage, through the back hallways of the historic Radio City Music Hall

Our team was honored to share our process with writer Tim Newcomb for his recent article When Stadium Design Bleeds Into Logo Design, which explores when creative teams and agencies leverage the stadium's unique architecture to develop the identity system for the venue.

On Dec. 29, 2013, a historic and prolific football career came to a close. Tony Gonzalez took the field for one final time From the moment he set foot in the Georgia Dome gold parking deck to the time he walked out, with his illustrious football career behind him, I was there with unprecedented access.
