I recently had the chance to travel to Washington DC and visit the White House. A local dance studio, New Ballet Ensemble, was being honored with the National Arts and Humanities Youth Program Award, and they invited me to come along to document the experience. It was my first time in the White House, and it was pretty […]

City Leadership (the non-profit I work for) recently launched a new project called Tonic Media Lab, and I couldn’t be more excited to be a part of this! The idea is to do week-long media labs to help brand (or re-brand) non-profits and churches in the Memphis area. We actually did our own branding, including
