My passion for graphic design and design in all of it's various and wonderful forms comes from evenings spent with friends treating Barnes&Noble like a library, hanging out in the art book and magazine sections.

It was the 90's in the Atlanta suburbs and if you wanted to see what was going on in the world you actually had to leave your house. Within those pages, I found a new world that hadn't existed prior. One of art, design, culture, and fashion.

At the same time, I had a love of movies and tv shows that employed cars as characters like Blues Brothers, Smokey and the Bandit, and Dukes of Hazzard. Come to find out I lived very close to where Dukes of Hazzard was filmed in Covington, Ga.

I went on to graduate from the Savannah College of Art and Design (SCAD) with a BFA in graphic design in 2004 and then spent the last 15 years developing my design knowledge and skills at both agencies and in-house with businesses. Along the way, I tried to freelance and start various design based ventures, which gave me an entirely different kind of education.

I learned about the value of client relationships and the importance of the golden rule.

I also learned the value of making a quality product and how important it is to spend the time to develop your craft.

These are the pillars upon which Hazzard County Design Studio was built.

So here I am almost 20 years after this story began and I find myself living in Covington - actual Hazzard County. I've accomplished several of my life's dreams, but one still loomed very large, until now.

Hazzard County Design Studio is that dream and I am so grateful that I get to bring it into reality a little more every day.
