Hi, I'm Joe.

I'm a nerd at heart with a passion for design. I've always been a jack-of-all trades, but along the way I've found that I enjoy solving problems (...and doing it with style).

About Joe

Discovering New Skills

With a love for design and vocal performance, I wanted to go to a college where I could pursue both. After landing a vocal performance scholarship at The University of Mary-Hardin Baylor, I decided to major in graphic design with a double minor in music and art. With web design being my main focus, I soon found a passion for 3D modeling and animation.

After several semesters, I had started creating animated shorts and brand intros for videos using my newly acquired 3D skills.

Eventually, my eye for detail and unique cinematography led to several student director roles for overseeing productions on CRU films.

Shortly after graduating with a BIS(Graphic Design / Business / Performing Arts) degree from UMHB in 2011, I moved to Austin, TX for a web master role.

Austin Life

Enjoying living in Austin

After moving to Austin, I knew I needed a best friend to enjoy the adventure with, so I adopted my pup Clementine at 5 weeks old. We now live on the eastside in the Agave neighborhood. We enjoy long walks around the neighborhood, riding on our motorcycle together (she has doggles and everything!!), and day trips to fun hiking spots.
