Hi the names Travis. I'm a Creative/Art Director and Senior Designer working out of the DMV.
I was raised in Maryland, where my love for Batman sparked my early creativity. I spent my childhood making comics, filming short movies on Hi-8 tapes, and exploring music, athletics, and art—thanks to a supportive community. Influenced by legends like Oscar Micheaux, Bruce Lee, Stan Lee, and Miles Davis, I’ve developed a unique creative approach.
As a creative with 10+ years of experience, I bring abstract ideas to life through dynamic campaigns across digital, print, and multimedia. My hands-on approach, paired with deep expertise in design and illustration, allows me to lead teams through every stage of the process. From 360 campaigns to video and static projects, I craft strategies that deliver results. With a passion for helping others realize their creative potential, I turn every project into an opportunity to inspire, inform, entertain or all of the above. It's an honor to learn and collaborate with so many talented individuals on this rock we call earth.
