Brief
I volunteered with the Mount St. Joseph wrestling program for several seasons, and over that time the creative media became mine: the season schedule system, match and results graphics, media day photography and video, all built inside MSJ brand standards. There was no budget and no brief, which meant the standard was whatever I chose to set. It is the work that sharpened my photography and video, pushed my graphics further than client work ever had, and led me to the graphic design BFA. I stepped back from it when I went back to school.
