creative engineer: an engineer by degree, but creative by passion
a thirty year old creative engineer; using my total brain to pursue artistic creations with a focus on what is and what could be. i've been a photographer since the late 90s with the gift of a barbie polaroid camera. i became in mechanical engineer through graduating from the illustrious north carolina agricultural & technical state university. it was in college where i discovered that my creativity and engineering brains loved to work together. 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 to the emotion 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. that's 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!
