The Purpose and Power of a Vision Statement Slide Deck
Here's a slide deck I built for myself presenting the power and importance of a vision statement.
I presented it via Loom voice over for a small group of personal branding clients. We worked through self discovery to get them to a place to build a vision statement they could own and feel truly attached to. Coaching Slide Deck
This particular slide deck is being built for sports training classroom modules. It will be accompanied by voice over that encases the human connection through the online modules.
The aim was to design it to the point where if the student wanted to read it themselves or reference back to it, they could do so easily. Building a League from the Ground Up
I founded Citizen Strong, an adult sports and social league uniting people through recreation and design-driven community. Beyond kickball, it became a full brand ecosystem complete with bold visuals, seasonal campaigns, and sponsor partnerships.
As Founder & Creative Director, I built the identity, website, and marketing materials that fueled three successful seasons of play and partnership before COVID ended operations. Wildcat Nation: Donor Platform Prototype
Creative Direction • UI/UX Design • Web Prototype
Fort Valley State University’s Athletic Department wanted a digital home for its donor program, Wildcat Nation. What began as a simple website mockup evolved into a full interactive prototype demonstrating how design could drive alumni engagement and donations.
I handled information architecture, wireframing, and visual design aligned with FVSU’s athletic branding. The prototype featured tiered donor levels, sponsor visibility, and simple, high-impact calls to action.
Although the site was never launched due to leadership changes, the project remains a strong proof of concept showing how thoughtful design can turn school pride into lasting financial support.
