Available to hire
I’m a multidisciplinary designer with over a decade of experience shaping footwear, illustration, and graphic design. I founded NEO-BLK in 2022 to explore identity, unity, and transformation through concept development, brand storytelling, and visual systems across hand-crafted, digital, and 3D workflows.
I’ve contributed to projects for Nike, Adidas, Puma, Footlocker, and WWE, translating identity into footwear, apparel, and cohesive brand experiences. Based in Atlanta, I’m open to relocation and eager to collaborate on bold, culturally conscious design that resonates across products and visuals.
