Hey, I’m DJ! I’m a graphic designer with two decades of agency experience creating local, national, and international marketing campaigns.
Featured Work
VA Dept of Education
Project
SEL Learning Guidebook
Description
The Virginia Dept of Education needed a set of several guidebooks that would show educators and administrators both the necessity for SEL learning, as well as how they might implement it. Several books were created, each geared toward teaching individual age ranges.
Har-Tru
Project
Souvenir T-Shirts
Description
Har-Tru’s typical customer had been those involved in the construction and maintenance of tennis courts, but they wanted to increase their visibility. Initially created as part of their sponsorship of the Credit One Charleston Open, these shirts helped introduce Har-Tru to a wider audience.
“2+2 Company”
Project
Direct Mail Campaign
Description
This national campaign consisted of a number of different letters, buckslips, and envelopes. The work was white-labeled, so certain details have been altered to obscure the client company. This project also showcases my experience with technical processes like variable data.
KidMed Urgent Care
Project
Social Media Posts
Description
This was a multi-image Instagram post for a local Virginia urgent care clinic for children and teens, intended to warn parents about both the dangers and warning signs for dehydration in the warm summer days.

What I Do Best
Print Design
I specialize in print layout and design, with experience in print ads, brochures, stationery suites, flyers, posters, billboards and outdoor banners, direct mail, signage, and much more.
Digital Design
I have experience creating designs for sites, landing pages, emails, social media, and web ads. I also work with developers to ensure those designs are implemented accurately throughout the coding process.
Product Design
I have experience with creating custom designs for clothing, as well as merchandise like bluetooth speakers, keychains, and coffee mugs.
Long-form Documents
I’ve created catalogs and reports for national and international organizations. For those documents which will be experienced online, I also ensure full compliance with WCAG Accessibility standards.
Motion Graphics
I have created motion graphics for simple social media posts, along with more ambitious projects like a new logo reveal for a client’s business, and the stadium graphics for a national sports tournament.
Logo Design
I’ve been creating brand identity designs since I began my career. In addition to a logo created with our modern digital world in mind, I also provide a full brand with color swatches and brand fonts to complement your logo.
