ABOUT ME
Bonjour, y'all! My name is Adam. Travel, design, languages, Harry Potter, and my cat are a few things that I love.
I'm originally from Tennessee, but I relocated to Michigan six years ago after accepting an offer to teach French at Michigan State University, where I obtained a Master of Arts in French Language and Literature. Before that, I earned a Bachelor of Arts in Graphic Design from the University of Tennessee at Martin.
​
I'm currently the Creative Director at Skyline Outdoor Advertising in East Lansing, Michigan where I have learned to tailor my design style to suit my clients' needs. I've worked with such diverse clients as small local businesses, the Michigan State and Pittsburgh Football programs, Dart Container Corporation, and many more.
​
In addition to my post as Creative Director, I'm also Adjunct French Instructor at Olivet College, teaching introductory French courses. My classes are highly communicative in nature. Even from day one of French 101, I speak as little English as possible in the classroom.
​
Below, you can find my design portfolio, which includes some examples of my most recent projects for a variety of clients.
Thanks for stopping by!
