A few of my projects have won international awards.
I've been featured in a few books.

- 35,000 submissions
- 2,500 winning logos
- From 601 designers
- In 68 different countries

After years of struggling between 2-3 digital calendars, and a few different notebooks for different aspects of my work, I discovered Bullet Journaling.

Twelve students from the University of Houston Digital Media program were recognized for design and printing excellence at the Printing Industries of the Gulf Coast Annual Graphic Excellence Award Gala, and I was one of them.

Recognized Locally for Philanthropy and Activism
Sitting at home in 2020, watching my city burn from civil unrest in the wake of yet another senseless killing, I decided to use the Houston beer blog that I built to do some good.
My friends and I were able to raise nearly $5k to donate to George Floyd’s family, and I had the privilege of leading the conversation in my community around embracing imperfection through hard convos with BIPOC.
“It’s not enough to not be racist. We need to be actively against racism,” Anthony continued. “We need to be open-minded when we’re presented with views that clash with our own, and we need to be more concerned with loving people than we are with being right.” – Me

“Ledge’s newest collection completely reimagines comfort as it equates to luxury and refinement. Understated, modern, and streamlined aesthetics lie at the core of the Autograph Collection.” – Pool Magazine
