Welcome!

This is my temporary portfolio. I have this temp site because I’m a full time student, that still manages to do Freelance work. I started Hackney Media Solutions 5 years ago, the summer of my 8th grade year. Most small business owners will tell you that it takes about 2 years before their company really started to take off, well... I was multitasking in high school so it took me a few years longer. I graduated high school early before starting college to devote my full attention to HMS and it really took off. I got some of my larger clients and consultant projects during that time.

Now I’m in Orlando Florida, about to graduate in May from Full Sail University with a BS in Digital Arts and Design. I plan to take just a little time to make some money before moving to Chicago to attend NorthWestern and make an attempt at a JD/MBA. At that point I’ll be looking to join a International Design Firm and circle the globe. Well, at least that’s the plan so far!

Take a look down this list, click on the ones you can click and read about the one that interest you, then email me... it’s at the very bottom. I would really like to add the solutions I produce for you to this list.
