Steel Mill Worker turned Art Director.
I imagine on paper this all this looks pretty odd. A steel mill worker who wants to pivot to a creative career. I feel like I’ve been creative my entire life. From making music, to retail merchandising for streetwear stores, to actually designing t-shirts for my own brand. Having a full time creative job seemed impossible until I stumbled upon the world of advertising. It’s a world I hope to join soon.
I’ve been working at a steel mill now for about 6 years. The work is hard, the days are long, and the dirt is unforgiving. I’ve recently graduated from The One School. A program started by The One Club for Creativity for Black creatives to teach the skills needed to work at an advertising agency. With this knowledge I hope to make a career pivot into something a bit cooler. Literally. If you see something you like in my portfolio let’s chat!
