Graphic design isn’t where I expected to land. I earned a BFA from East Carolina University in painting and drawing, but I’m wired as both an artist and a realist. Instead of pursuing fine art full time, I chose graphic design — where creativity meets practical problem-solving.

I founded 485inc as a home for visual storytelling. I craft brand identities, logos, campaigns, and digital experiences that help businesses show up with clarity and confidence. The computer is my canvas now, but my fine arts background still shapes how I see and create — with intention and perspective.

I collaborate with trusted writers, developers, photographers, and other creatives to deliver work that’s strategic, thoughtful, and visually compelling. It’s a balance of art and realism that fits me perfectly.
