Let's Cypher


Brand Development

Graphic Designer

I've held many different graphic designer positions throughout my career, anything from textile print to funding pitch decks. Part of what makes a great graphic designer is someone who can help less expressives find ways to explain what they want created in art form.

Brand Designer

The early incubation stages of business intrigue me a ton. Part of this stage includes brand creation. I'm one of the friends who makes the nickname that sticks for all of my friends. Without realization, I tend to come up with fun-catchy ways for not only me to remember who they are, but remember what they represent. Pretty much sums up a Brand Designer, me.

Front-end Developer

Career experience as a webmaster, that tells you how long ago that was... I've been tinkering with web code for decades. When it comes to front-end designing, my favorite base code is Zurb Foundation.

Video Producer

I'll be first to admit, I'm a better editor than director when it comes to film/video. Producing videos has been a side-project of mine that is fun. I haven't gotten a chance to move this into my career portfolio but I've been sharpening my skills for when this opportunity arises.

Music Producer

I had early bootleg versions of music production software but I had no idea how to use it at all... so I count my start from when I bought my first physical piece of equipment. A Roland 307-groovebox (1999). Once I had this device and dove into trying to learn how it works, manipulating the sounds in my headphones. I knew that I would always be connected to making music. I can proudly say I've produced a commercial song for a social media marketing campaign that reached over 100 million plays on tiktok.

Community Management

It all starts with a community, and a community are people. One of my earliest and more successful side-hustles was as a forum moderator for a site I was tasked to operate. Dealing with multiple personalities who all were dedicated to the culture of hiphop at the age of 19, I got to experience what the future would be for many businesses due to social media.
