Blending psychology, marketing, creative strategy, and design to help organizations communicate clearly, connect emotionally, and grow intentionally
Portfolio
The Agency of Tanner+West
As creative director at a marketing agency, I learned problem-solving skills for a diverse range of clients. In this role, I had the opportunity to work with a talented team of designers, web developers, and videographers, to effectively communicate our clients' messages.
Design & Marketing
As a Visual Communications Designer at Talkiatry, I collaborated with design, marketing, and product on brand refresh, UI/UX, web development, design system, and digital marketing. Helped scale the NY-based psychiatry company to 43 states, becoming one of the largest U.S. online psychiatry providers.
Brand and
Storytelling
A good brand should tell a story of who the organization is and where the organization is headed. It’s why businesses, churches, and schools have asked me to help with brand development and rebrands.
Logo design
This is how I go about the process of developing a logo for brand recognition and advertising.
Psychology & growth
I hold a bachelor's in psychology (counseling). I've worked in one-on-one counseling, team building, and public speaking, applying my design and marketing skills. I still consult organizations using my pastoring, design, and marketing experience to help them grow.
Business & Printing
At 18 I had my parents co-sign a $7,500 loan to buy screen‑printing equipment and start my own printing business. Since then I’ve designed 10,000+ graphics for apparel, book covers, magazines, posters, vinyl wraps, event displays, promo products, and more.
