Hello! My main background is music/audio production and label management, but my consistent side hustle has been graphic design for print projects, LP/CD jackets, posters, merchandise and promotional items. I'm a Nashville-based music producer and label founder with a track record of growing catalogs, coordinating audio production, and steering creative collaborations from concept to release. I thrive on bridging artists with audiences, managing in-house and external publicity, and shaping visual branding across releases and tours.
