Communication is one of the most complex parts of being human –– it leads to challenges as well as advancements. Visual communication gives us the chance to meet those challenges with creative solutions. I help people identify their message and who needs to hear it, and I craft something for them that creates connections through clear and engaging artwork. And it's a lot of fun. My specialties include: print, web and motion graphic design; video content production from concept to final edit, including cinematography and direction; editorial, commercial, and product photography and editing; and copy writing.

Pretty much anything. My set of skills is broad but also well developed, so I can find a place as a problem-solver in a wide variety of projects, playing different roles and switching hats. I enjoy having the ability to fill in wherever a client or fellow creative needs me to be.

I'm inspired quite a bit by my three kids. They're all so unique, just different little people from one another. But they all have a deep curiosity for the world around them. That drives me to stay inquisitive and never stop learning.

I have a keen eye for detail and a deep penchant for making words pretty. I enjoy taking what I see and making it better - no matter what medium I'm currently working with. I've even ghost-written a book or 2. I enjoy all things artistic which include writing, painting, drawing, and even crafting. However, my favorite thing to do is to curl up with my laptop and watch documentaries and old movies with the subtitles on.

The best way to reach me is via email. However, I'm not opposed to someone sliding in my DM's on social media. So long as you state the nature of your "slide".

I'd say that the most pertinent part of being an independent professional for me is consistently getting better at what I do. That includes me reading a lot, writing a ton, and getting into spaces where I'm surrounded by other creatives. I feel there is much to benefit from collaboration.

I'm open to most editing and proofreading projects. I'm particularly fond of the larger manuscripts (50,000 words or more). I enjoy reading stories whether fictional or not because it gives me glimpses into the mind of the author.

The perfect job would be one where I get to write or create for months on end. Like... maybe a ghostwriting gig where I had to write something within 6-8 months. I would just hide away and let my imagination run wild - and my keyboard.

I've had so many jobs that meant a lot to me. If I had to choose, I'd say the most significant project that I've worked on, I assisted a client in writing a book on the stages of grief. It was almost therapeutic because she was still processing through grief while we were writing. It turned out to be a great book and one I am very proud of.

My goal as an artist is to create something that truly represents you and/or your business! All too often, I see designs hat in no way reflect the message that is trying to be advertised! My art is unique and different from what people see everyday. It's sure to draw attention! I started drawing to cope with an autoimmune disorder that as left me pretty tired and down. I found myself again in the art I create and persuaed my career as a small business owner in September.

I am extremely versatile and flexible, working with a wide variety of styles, mediums, and people. As a first generation American I have encountered a lot of xenophobia in my life, which is why I strive to make this an inclusive and safe space for everyone. I am also a self taught artist, so my artistic techniques are a little unorthodox, but I think that just makes everything a little more fun :)

Travel is the short answer, but that hasn’t been the easiest this past year. I’ve challenged myself to walk around neighborhoods close by and to look at everything I see through a new set of eyes. From architecture to storefront windows to the fashion people wear, I am constantly finding new sources of inspiration.

When you tell a story, you build trust and closeness. I'm a storyteller. Businesses can add value by telling customers and clients just who they are, what they live by. I tell stories with my newsletter Ball Atlanta, about Sports in Atlanta. I also tell stories about successful entrepreneurs and business people. Email me. Let me tell your story. I told stories for 18 years with The New York Times and 25 years with USA Today. I'm good at this.

I was the Sports Editor of a daily newspaper in Knoxville, Tenn. When the paper was bought out by its larger rival, I decided I wanted to be independent of others business decisions and make my own way. I have been freelancing for almost 30 years. It is the write life. Sometimes you get to pose with a future Hall of Famer, like Chipper Jones. That's me, top left.

They grind, at first, and when they achieve...they grind some more. When you are really good, the press box is on fire. Mark Lemke and Jeff Blauser of the Braves pose as the press box burns from a lit cooking cannister July 20, 1993. The Braves went 38-11 and won the NL West. I was there.

I'm open to many types of content and copywriting projects, from SEO content to website copy. But I am especially passionate about long-form educational content -- whether that's an informative blog post, a thought leadership article, a downloadable resource, or even an online course.

I founded a blog and event series that highlighted and catered to the local community of female business owners. Through interview series, panel events, and even a book club, we created a welcome space to have honest conversations about the challenges and wins that come with being a female entrepreneur. What began as a passion project turned into an incredible community that I'm so proud to have been a part of.
