This is the first image made for scuf gaming using product photography, some popsicle sticks and string to hold things in place, and a whole lot of photoshop to composite the image
Hi there! If you’re reading this, you’re probably wondering if I’m the right designer for the job — so let me give you a quick rundown. I’ve been in the graphic design space since 2009, starting with basic HTML layouts before moving into photography and professional design work. My early career began at Direct Mail Express, where I worked heavily in Adobe Creative Suite, especially InDesign, prepping large-scale print campaigns for major clients like Southeast Toyota Finance, Royal Caribbean, and various auto dealerships.
In 2015, I pivoted into product photography and design at Scuf Gaming, where I led all design efforts — from revamping product catalogs and social media content to redesigning packaging and collaborating with big names like Xbox, Microsoft, and Turn 10 Studios on the Forza 7 controller launch.
After that, I moved into the SaaS space at Shadow-Soft, leading a full website rebrand, creating hundreds of whitepapers, and producing social content that aligned with their digital strategy. More recently, I’ve been freelancing, including a long-term project with the mobile game Kingdom Maker until 2024. I pride myself on being versatile, efficient, and always leveling up my skills through ongoing learning — whether it’s online courses or the latest design trends on YouTube.
This album cover was a freelance collaboration with a passionate musician looking to give his small-town band’s latest record a nostalgic, yet electrifying visual identity. The project began with a series of phone calls and text messages, where we discussed the heart of the album—an ode to summer nights, classic rock energy, and the joy of music bringing people together.
Working remotely, I took his ideas and translated them into a bold, vintage-inspired design, blending warm sunset hues, retro typography, and a dynamic silhouette composition to capture the essence of "Good Times & Rock n' Roll." Throughout the process, we fine-tuned the details—adjusting textures, refining colors, and ensuring the final artwork reflected the raw emotion and timeless feel of the music itself.
This project is a testament to the power of collaboration and creative storytelling, even across distances. It’s always an honor to help bring an artist’s vision to life, turning music into a visual experience that resonates just as powerfully as the sound itself.
