creative engineer: an engineer by degree, but creative by passion
i’m a thirty year old creative engineer; using both sides of my brain to create the emotions i can’t otherwise express. i've been a photographer since the late 90s with the gift of a barbie polaroid camera & i’ve been mechanical engineering graduate of the illustrious north carolina agricultural & technical state university since 2016. (aggie pride!) it was in college where i discovered that my creative and engineering brains loved to work together. ever since, i’ve been using this strength to express my emotions in my photography to see myself more clearly and document moments that escape too quickly.
my engineering always carried a creative light towards innovation, while my creativity is reinforced by the lessons i learned while spending five years in the automotive industry. I, stylishly, wore numerous hats while in the automotive industry including project manager, noise & vibration engineer, compartment integrator, and a few other technical roles. however, no matter the technicality, i always made room for creative projects including redesigning an employee resource group monthly newsletter & designing posters that reached over 20k women, globally, as well as working as a recruiter to hire 50+ BIPOc engineers from the number one hbcu. (aggie pride! had to).
i grew my personal creative freelance business (est 2016) through finally learning to use all my different talents for a singular goal - to truly document and honor each emotion that graces my lens. giving a story and emotion to the art so that anyone can relate. i love simple views with random perspective angles or even putting together a collage or a set. i always focus on the feeling since that's what i'm mostly interested in. i believe to help my people i must teach my hardest lesson; emotion. by showing emotion in an amplified way that focuses on the details and perspective, i teach myself that there's beauty in everything, even when i don't see it on the first glance. forever striving to see and show more; recalibrating.
and all of this brought me to one school and the creative advertising world. idk this is where i wanted to be until one school’s bootcamp, but ever since i’ve been blazing a trail for content creators in this biz. creating my own show to interview creatives all around one school and then attending one club’s 2022 award show & creative’s hall of fame. becoming gut agency’s first content creator working Popeyes and visible mobile to then a senior content creator at edelman working on 15+ brands & leading a social launch for kinder chocolate!
i’m just getting started boo!
