I am a graphic designer with work you’ve (hopefully) seen on Apple TV+, Netflix, FX Networks, and more. I have over 8 years of experience in the U.S. film industry and designs featured in 40+ shows and commercials. I have always loved pursuing big, ambitious goals. Like working in film – a goal I set at the bright-eyed age of 11. Then, I ran off and became a graphic designer instead. Fast-forward about 15 years: When I figured out that I could merge my love of graphic design and my long-time goal of working in film, I was ALL IN without a second thought. Figuring out how to GET this job was tough. Once I landed that first film graphics gig, I thought the hard part was over. But I quickly learned that my dream was now also my JOB. I had bosses to answer to, deadlines to meet, industry politics to navigate and soo much to figure out. There was no easy-to-learn, standardized process for getting this job done and getting it done well – so I made one. And then I made A Graphic Designer Made That: How to be a Graphic Designer for Film and Television to help others launch their creative film careers and launch them on the right foot.

Finally, an online course and community to tackle all your hard-to-answer questions.
