Here’s a blurb from the interview:

“How’d you end up in this industry?”
Well, the most challenging part about getting into this industry, specifically the creative side of it, is that you don’t really know it’s a career option for you when you’re a student. Someone has to tip you off about it. After I graduated from college, I was searching for a path but I couldn’t find anything that was creatively satisfying – until my brother told me about the Creative Circus in Atlanta. At the time the slogan for the school was: “Where weird kids become employable” and I knew it was for me.

What piece of work are you most proud of and why?
Tie between working on Citi Bike and the Verizon Rule Your Legacy Black History Month campaign. Both were greater than just “buy me,” greater than one type of media and greater than the brand. The work was more about creating a connection with people and had a greater purpose. I love doing work that matters.
