I was originally awarded the contract to help with the design and development of graphic assets for the Dynegy campaign, which included a massive reboot of their website.

The company liked my work, so my Ogilvy boss kept me on after the Dynegy project to design assets for TD Ameritrade’s Investing and Trading Platforms. Upon completion of the project, my boss left the company to run his own firm and offered me a position as Creative Director. It was extremely tempting, but I received a more lucrative offer from Ascend Training to teach Photoshop and other Adobe products. After the stress and pressure of working overtime and all-nighters in advertising, teaching was exactly the change I needed.
