Doing What You Love Is A Gift

I am so fortunate to work in a field that is creative, collaborative, innovative, and downright exciting! Raised in the coal country of West Virginia, I never imagined art could be a career. That’s why doing what I love today feels like a true gift.

My portfolio includes partnerships with leading brands such as Chevrolet, Spotify, Coors Light, Fritos, Hershey’s, Firestone, Walmart, Gatorade, Sonic, MLB, NFL, ESPN and more. I’ve also worked alongside respected agencies like The Buntin Group, Finn Partners, Bohan, GS&F, and many others—developing campaigns that drive results and resonate with audiences.

American Idol 2026 promo

I art directed this large set build for ABC’s newest ad campaign for American Idol. This was a massive undertaking and Nashville’s art crew made it look easy. We built an American Idol “Halll of Fame” complete with marble floor, marble columns, intricate moulding, trophy cases, and GORGEOUS golden doors. We also built vignettes for all of the photo shoot promos.

SEC ESPN Sonic Smash Burgers and Bob Stoops!

I production designed this National Sonic commercial that ran during the college football playoffs. I was tasked with confetti in every frame, picture cars, pouring a slushie gatorade on Hall of Fame coach Bob Stoops, and hamburger trophies. My team was incredible and the job was a smashing burger success!

C&F Bank | Meet Dave

One of my favorite directors gave me freedom to create on this commercial. I got to make paintings and pancakes! We just leaned hard into branding colors and let the images speak for themselves.
