Steel Mill Worker turned Art Director.
I imagine on paper this all this looks pretty odd. A steel mill worker who pivoted 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.
I worked at a steel mill for 6 years. The work was hard, the days were long, and the dirt was unforgiving. I graduated from The One School while doing this work. The One School is a program started by The One Club for Creativity for Black creatives to teach the skills needed to work at an advertising agency. This knowledge made it possible to get a cooler job. Literally.
