Web Design & Web Development 

With the skills learned in college, I added simple website development as a service I offered starting the summer of 2021 for close friends. When I started at TXCAPstudio it only further advanced my knowledge in website building! Now I have branded  my own company, Navbar Media, to create for more people around the Austin area.

I’ve always enjoyed video editing, I do it quite a bit for my YouTube channel casually in my spare time. Luckily, Texas State University offers a VR and 360 Video course. I was able to learn and film using some of the most current tools on the market. These videos were shot on an Insta 360 camera and edited in Premiere Pro. I can create virtual tours, birds-eye views, and dabble with AR simulator and app filters.

After completing Freshman Year at University I decided to take a gap year. I begin my intership at VETTED, a military transition program.  During my employment I,

• Learned how to network and build my image professionally (started my LinkedIn)
• Create content for multiple social media platforms then analyzed the data to increase monthly turnouts at sponsored events
• Film, edit and illustrate promotional  ads for the brand using Adobe suite
• Assisted with event planning, and suggested ideas to draw veterans attention

Through the internship, I developed a network of great mentors who tried to help me develop professionally. I stumbled across a Private education program, General Assembly. GA really opened my eyes to what new tech jobs were out there to be pursued. I took HTML/CSS coding, UX/UI Design, Product management, and more. Thanks to these classes I had a firmer grasp on what career I wanted.

I was REALLY in to skateboarding and would always decorate my boards. People would complement them all the time. I finally took on a couple of request and began to sell my art. I created the brand @blkgrilgrip and some of my work even made it to Thrasher magazine!
