About Me

Built for precision. Designed for impact.

I am a U.S. Navy Veteran and Marketing student at USD, blending operational discipline with data-driven creativity. I don't just build campaigns; I build the technical systems that power them.

From designing brand identities in Illustrator to architecting PostgreSQL databases, I bridge the gap between high-level strategy and hands-on execution.

Currently focused on Marketing Analytics and seeking collaborations with forward-thinking teams.

Result: Launched to real users, tracking hundreds of applications across the platform.

Intertwine Fitness

Problem: A local fitness brand had no visual identity: no logo, no color system, no way to stand out in a crowded market.

Built: Designed the full brand identity from scratch: wordmark, logo system, color palette, and typography using Illustrator with a focus on strength, connectivity, and movement.

Result: A cohesive, production-ready brand system currently live at intertwinefitness.com.
