At the end of the day, it’s about telling a story.
Marcus Leppard
I’ve always loved the act of being creative - when I realized that I could combine that with my passion for nagging people to chase their dreams, I found a calling that I never could have expected. Helping people effectively communicate their message to the world so that they can give their full focus to their passion - that’s what makes me excited to get up in the morning.
With a lifetime of creativity, over two years as a dedicated creative director, and three years as a business owner under my belt, I’m sure that I can bring huge value to whatever you’re looking to accomplish.
This is the perfect gig for someone like me: I love being able to wake up and put on a different hat every day. So, if you’re looking for web design, graphic design, branding, photo/video, or some exciting new idea that hasn’t been done yet, I’m your man.
Let’s make something amazing together.
