You need a jetpack.

Bottle Packaging Concept
A student projectm, we were tasked to redesign the packaging for and product. Rather than a simple refresh or redesign, I wanted to rethink the purpose of a 6-pack carton. Taking on the "family style" 6-packs, but allowing the packaging to also tell a little about each beer in a unique pentagon shape.
Photography
Taking photos has always been a hobby, in more recent years, DSLR video has been a passion as well.
I am a designer living and working in Dallas, TX. I graduated from Texas Tech University in 2011, and have been working for a B2B ad agency since.
I enjoy making sense from the uncertain, and simplifying the complex. Taking what, at first glance, seems complicated, and breaking it down into a more easily understood product.
A professor of mine once said "It's our job to know everything," I've taken this advice to heart. The more a designer knows about the world around them, the better informed they are when making decisions. What seems trivial to some — as little as a single pixel — I believe can have great impact on the overall experience.
Most people have hobbies, not everyone's hobby helps their career path. One of my passions is learning, especially learning new software and languages, which makes me a regular jack of all trades — and master of many.
