My pro sports career started in the Summer of 2015 when the Tampa Bay Buccaneers offered me a seasonal graphic design internship. I was then offered a fulltime role with the organization before the end of the internship as a graphic designer. My role as a graphic designer was specializing in signage for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers 5K/Fun Run, Women of RED and any community events. However, I also worked closely with the other graphic designers and departments with the creation of new and unique ticketing email marketing, social media graphics, print advertisements, stadium graphics, as well as corporate sales mock ups and decks.

The header not having more of a graphic feel to it, is a result of one the most memorable moments of my time in Tampa, where I was asked to be a stand in for a color rush photoshoot. I was fully suited up from the neck down which was a dream come true. I've designed 1000's of graphics over my career, I've only been able to do this once.

Buccaneers Gameday Posters
A now common practice on social media amongst most NFL teams, back in 2016 the Buccaneers creative team were some of the first teams in the NFL to flex our design chops and break away the day to day branding up with posters showcasing our talents or a design style/skill we wanted to learn.

Social Media Graphics
While my primary focus while at the Tampa Bay Buccaneers was designing for Events and Community Outreach programs, in between events I would often step in and create some social media graphics for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

  • " Working with Dave was consistently a highlight of my time on the team. He brought a sharp creative eye to every project, but what truly set him apart was his willingness to go the extra mile, no matter the project or deadline. Dave approached each day with a great attitude. His level of enthusiasm that made collaboration easy. Anyone would be lucky to have Dave on their team. "
