About

I’ve spent three decades leading creative and digital projects, building systems, and guiding teams for national brands, nonprofits, and ministries. Along the way, my own journey of recovery and transformation reshaped how I see leadership, strategy, and people.Today, I bring those two streams together — creative/digital expertise and lived recovery experience — to build programs, train teams, and help others move from pressure and survival into transformation and growth.Whether I’m working with organizations, speaking in a group setting, or guiding creative direction, my focus is the same: to align vision with results and create environments where people can become who they were meant to be.

PORTFOLIO

A collection of the identity, recovery, and digital work I’ve built over the years.

Identity & Recovery Framework (Creator)

Momentum is the framework I built from lived experience, spiritual formation, and recovery work. It brings together Scripture, identity transformation, neuroscience, and embodiment into a structured pathway that I teach inside hospitals, jails, prisons, and recovery groups. Momentum is an ongoing project built from the ground up — writing, structure, and teaching — and continues to evolve as I refine it in real-world environments.My work includes:

  • building the identity and framework

  • writing and structuring all modules

  • integrating Scripture and neuroscience

  • creating body-based practices and embodiment work

  • designing worksheets, participant materials, and guides

  • teaching the material in high-pressure, real-world settings

Momentum is the clearest expression of who I am now: builder, communicator, strategist, and teacher.

WornJacket

Independent Creative Work

WornJacket Studio was my independent design and web practice, where I built full digital experiences for organizations ranging from international ministries to technology companies to nonprofits. Most of my high-impact work — including projects for global ministries, enterprise tech firms, and public figures — was done directly through WornJacket, not through agencies.

I handled everything end-to-end:

  • website design and builds

  • copywriting and messaging

  • brand tone development

  • creative direction

  • identity alignment

  • content structure

  • launch and deployment

Those years developed the foundation I still carry now — the ability to create clarity from chaos, build systems from scratch, communicate identity with precision, and deliver real solutions under pressure.

Past Work Summary

High-Level Digital Experience

Across more than a decade of freelance and creative work, I built digital assets, websites, media systems, and content structures for global ministries, enterprise tech companies, and touring creatives.
Much of this work is no longer online or was done in collaborative settings — but the experience shaped the range and depth of how I build.

This work included:

  • international ministries

  • enterprise cybersecurity and tech organizations

  • high-traffic media and landing experiences

  • artists, musicians, and public figures

This era strengthened my ability to work with identity, structure, clarity, communication, and pressure-driven environments.

CPRS and CHW (2024–Present)

Recovery was never meant to be a destination, but a bridge to transformation.

I work inside hospitals, jails, and treatment settings supporting people in crisis, teaching identity and recovery modules, and helping individuals navigate real transformation. This role strengthened the core of Momentum and expanded my ability to communicate, build trust, and guide people through change.

This work included:

  • international ministries

  • enterprise cybersecurity and tech organizations

  • high-traffic media and landing experiences

  • artists, musicians, and public figures
