LONGSHORE ART AND DESIGN

I was born in Charlotte, North Carolina and grew up in and around the Charlotte area.
I have always been a creative individual and attended art camps and classes starting at age five. Art has always been an outlet for me especially during the darkest points of my life. Against all odds, I graduated from the University of North Carolina Wilmington with a BA in Studio Art and Art History. My concentration was primarily in painting and graphic design. During my time as an undergrad, I was a studio intern for Acme Art Studios in downtown Wilmington which sparked my love for working with small, local businesses with a creative focus. I began working at The Children's Museum of Wilmington as Marketing Coordinator while working towards my MA in Integrated Marketing and Communications.

In 2022, I decided to turn my freelancing experience into a business: Longshore Art + Design LLC and finally quit my 9-5. I am an artist, muralist, graphic designer, social media manager, and consultant.

I have worked with businesses including Carolina Renovation Warehouse of Gastonia, Nourish NC, Beyond OT, NicoBlue Jewelry, Hop Yard Raleigh, Dalisay Salon, TAD Photos, Ibiza Nightclub, Beach Bowls, Welcome Home Angel, Charlotte Magazine, UNCW Theatre Program, and more.


I was born in Charlotte, North Carolina and grew up in and around the Charlotte area. I have  always been a creative individual and attended art camps and classes starting at age five. I had a unique upbringing and experienced grief and loss early on. Art has always been an outlet for me especially during the darkest points of my life. Against all odds, I graduated from the University of North Carolina Wilmington in 2019 with a BA in Studio Art and Art History. My concentration was primarily in graphic design and painting. During my time as an undergrad, I was a studio intern for Acme Art Studios in downtown Wilmington which sparked my love for working with small, local businesses with a creative focus. In 2020, I began working at The Children's Museum of Wilmington as Assistant Marketing Coordinator while working towards my MA in Integrated Marketing and Communications. My favorite contribution and project with the Museum so far has been the recent new logo designs, fresh online rebranding intuitive, and mural painting inside the Museum.

In early 2022, I decided to turn my freelancing experience into a business: Longshore Art + Design LLC. I am an artist, muralist, graphic designer, and digital marketing/social media manager and consultant. I have worked with many local small businesses including Beyond OT, Bill Paris Photography, NicoBlue Jewelry, The Hemp Garden, Hop Yard Wilmington, Hop Barefoot Blends Pottery, TAD Photos, Ibiza Nightclub, and Music Bird Studios. I have also worked with University of North Carolina Wilmington on the set of Shakespeare & Autism's production of The Tempest. My current monthly clients include Music Bird Studios, Ibiza Nightclub, and The Children's Museum of Wilmington. I have a small office located in the heart of downtown Wilmington at The Cotton Exchange. I truly enjoy helping businesses large and small execute their vision by establishing a clear brand identity at every touchpoint, both physical and digital.
