A derailed art student turned Copywriter.
"Didn't get into art school" is an understatement.
Rejected. Unconsidered. Character building.
Much more accurate.
So I took what I could get: acceptance into SMU's Advertising School and a graphic design minor. Inconveniently—before graduation—my professor admitted I was better at writing than art directing.
A sucker punch to the gut, sure, but he wasn't wrong.
Now, I make work that looks as good as it reads.
