Roodle LLC
Co-Founder, CEO, Product Manager, Designer
I designed the entire brand, app, and website. I also manage the entire company and our small team. Roodle is a location based mobile app in which a user privately rates places.
I started the project in 2011 and formed the company in 2013. Roodle has proved to be my hardest journey yet. I have played every role. While I'm a designer by day, I managed a small team to build this product all the way from conception to birth. I have continued fulfilling this role. I'll never stop learning something new each day, and that excites and drives me. The knowledge I've gained from running a business is tremendous.

SPARTA Inc., A Parsons Company
Graphic Design Consultant
Provide support for all graphics/web to ORS (Operationally Responsive Space). This included several launches such as SL-6, ORS-3, ORS-4, and ORS-5.
There’s always an exciting project with ORS. I’ve brand them from the beginning. I’ve been tasked to make videos, mission patches and stickers, team banners, plaques, and too many posters to count. We once put hundreds of stickers into the nose of a rocket for the SL-6 Mission. When it returned we collected the stickers so recipients now have something that has been into space. By far the best experience of my life was the launch of ORS-3. I was fortunate enough to do the advertising for the launch through video, banners, mission patches, and enormous stickers for the side of the rocket. They then invited me to come on-site to see the launch. Seeing a rocket launch off the eastern shore of Wallops Islands, Virginia, is a must for any human. The rocket reached the bottom tip of Africa in 11 minutes.

Development Consultant who's primary task was to build the Zumetrics Marketing site with a custom Wordpress CMS.
This was a challenge considering I had never done a Wordpress site from scratch. Some of the dynamic code I build was really snazzy. While I did build the site, I did not design it.
