The Story

In my role as Senior Collegiate Sales Director at Campus Ink, spearheaded the development and successful launch of the Student Design & Sales Program, a groundbreaking initiative now engaging over 250 students and generating $4 million annually across 50 campuses. I mentored and managed a team of over 90 student representatives, guiding them in sales, graphic design, and professionalism while making up a third of the business in sales.
As Creative Director / Art Director at the NIL Store, I led the design and rollout of the Urban Champs Brand, introducing the first private label solution for selling replica and fashion NIL jerseys wholesale. I worked to develop the creative strategy and visual direction for the NIL store, while working to create original licensed designs with athletes. The NIL Store. today has nearly $1 million in earnings for college athletes. and has 63 live e-commerce stores and over 9,000+ athletes.
My expertise extends to project management, tech sheet development, streamlined design processes, and fostering collaboration between clients, designers, and account managers. I excel in maintaining schedules, coordinating projects, and ensuring timely deliveries, all while nurturing relationships with a network of creative freelancers for outsourced projects. With a proven track record of success, I am dedicated to driving innovation and delivering impactful creative solutions for every client.
Most recently I was selected as one of 15 black creatives to participate in the only all-black advertising portfolio school by One School, to enhance my art direction skills. We have 16 weeks to create one dope book of new projects for our portfolio. I successfully graduated and was awarded Top Honor Student for the Fall Chicago 23 Cohort.
