Projects
World of Warcraft | Content Creator
What started as a passion project in 2020, my YouTube channel was created to provide video guides for my friends and teammates who enjoyed the popular MMORPG, World of Warcraft.
The channel quickly exploded in popularity due to consistent, informative, engaging content. The range of views per video is anywhere between 3,500 and 100,000+ while the average lingers between 5,000 to 12,000 views.
With the channel now having over 33,000 subscribers and 6.2 million views; this is how I entertain most of my free time!
What I love about this project is I get to talk about what I love, and further my skills as a content creator and designer! When making these videos, I get to utilize Adobe After Effects, Premiere, and Photoshop.
Below, you will find examples of recent video and graphics that I create for players.

Grandview Realty
While working at Grandview Realty, there were several projects that I took on. First, I revitalized the branding for the company with an updated logo, social media assets, and website.
I also worked alongside Real Estate Agents to developed personalized brands to help them standout to potential buyers and sellers.
Lastly, Grandview Reality hosted several events throughout the year including food drives, and animal adoption events. For these events, I was in charge of creating marketing campaign, and designing promotional material.
Windmill Ginger Brew
One of the larger projects I had the pleasure of working while at Windmill Ginger Brew was our website. This website was set up right before Covid-19 and it couldn't have come any sooner. This site gave us an e-commerce outlet when our direct sales took a substantial hit due to the global pandemic.
The website included a landing page, flavor page, recipes, reviews, a shop, and a plethora of other features. The site averaged 800 session a day during its peak during the pandemic. The website also generated more than $250,000 over two years.
Along with web design, I assisted with photography, editing, along with email marketing including recipes and announcements.
*Sadly, the site has been taken down since we went out of business*
Aurora University | Testimonials
During my time at Aurora University, I had the privilege of producing several testimonial videos that were featured at campus events and on the university’s website.
This work encompassed coordinating interviews with students and faculty, managing equipment setup, editing footage, designing graphics, refining audio, and adding closed captioning to ensure accessibility.
Although I valued every aspect of the production process, what I enjoyed most was the opportunity to craft meaningful stories through this medium.
Power of a Story | Instagram
In December of 2016, I decided to create an Instagram channel under the alias The Power of a Story. The goal with this channel was to post motivating content in hopes to inspire others, but more importantly, myself. I was enrolled in a few "Leadership Study" courses and wanted to push myself outside of the classroom.
Within 8 months and over 300 posts, this page peaked at over 4000 followers and was able to engage with some pretty powerful content creators, PrinceEA and Alyson Stoner, to name a few.
Once my Senior year got underway, I dropped this project due to the time requirement I needed to devote to my capstone courses and projects. Working on Instagram at this caliber taught me a lot about the field and social platforms. Not just creating the content, but time management, project planning, research all played a critical role in the success of this Instagram page.
