Completed my first rebrand at 24, as the Athletic Director of a private school. School brand remains, to this day, a recognizable one and a source of continuing revenue for the department through branded merchandise.
- Served as Marketing Director for Don’s Specialty Meats - a nationwide vendor of Cajun products. Rebranded the business.
- Worked as PA on multiple video sets including for local news magazines and Travel Channel spotlights.
- Served as Marketing Director for multi-national oil & gas company - serving in a primarily sales enablement role for outside sales people across the world and lead designer/purchaser for global trade shows.
- Created successful apparel line in New Orleans for NOLA Til Ya Die - served as Associate Creative Director for 2 years at height of business. My tenure brought in a younger clientele for the brand that had been treading water. At our peak, we shot national promos, rebuilt the brand into a more nationally focused “Til Ya Die” and participated in Vans Warped Tour 2017 as a featured vendor.
