#freelancefriday

I work as a professional actor, graphic designer, and photographer. I do quite a bit. That's why they call me Ace of All Trades: The Modern Renaissance Man. I am also a member of the outstanding league of elite Dallas actors known as the Brierley Resident Acting Company at the Tony Award-winning Dallas Theater Center. I am a proud 2013 alum of Southern Methodist University with a BFA in Acting from Meadows School of The Arts. After working at the Dallas Symphony Orchestra as the lead Graphic designer for a couple of years, I started my own brand design & development company called The Striped Heart. Since 2016, my wife and I have been creating our dream life with a diligent aim to be exemplars of passion, artistry, health, and well-being. My primary goal is to build a blockbuster film acting career to create an influential platform to revolutionize the way humans tell stories. Lately, I've been writing a TV series about the beginning of time called Sons of Adam. I've also been developing an original spoken word concert tour exploring the role of masculinity and truth in relationships called Creation of an Asshole. I’m obsessed with profound vocabulary and mixing eloquent articulation with rhythm and rhyme. When I'm not writing and performing, I'm designing logos, websites, and branding under my design company, The Striped Heart. Just Google 'Ace Anderson' to find all of my content. I live each day in awe of life’s stubborn persistence, the endless hope of a better future, and mankind’s willingness to take on the unknown forthrightly and with courage. -Ace www.aceofalltrades.xyz

"I am an interdisciplinary designer, creative director + photographer who strives to find taste in every area.

Together we created Film + Music — a quarterly editorial aimed at creators + artists. My job now is to create compelling, thought driven marketing campaigns for companies whether in the vein of design, concept direction + photography. I believe that less allows for more.

"You deserves to be seen. Over the last 15 years I have helped individuals who feel stuck, fearful or just confused, create a clear and simple way to bring CLARITY to know who they are, CONFIDENCE to believe in themselves, and COURAGE to live it out everyday. After walking with thousands of individuals like YOU to discover their TRUEST direction, I know first hand how difficult it can be to define who you really are and have the courage to live it out everyday. But today, we change everything. I am a people and culture development expert that challenges audiences to consider their thoughts, fears and dreams. I reminds leaders, teams, and organizations that every person is, at their core, just a human. I explore relationship management and humanity through keynotes, workshops and my Personal Identity Mapping service – an examination how and why people do the things that they do. The result is intense clarity and deep learning about the ‘one’ whole person we really are, and the realization that we need to be that same person in every part of our life: as a servant leader, as a respectful partner, as a key teammate, and as a difference maker and engaged member of our families and communities." -Rocky www.rockygarza.com @rockygarza facebook.com/rockygarza linkedin.com/in/rockygarza https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC7ID8k8gJC9rR3_1ZuCGWEA

"I am a Photographer / Videographer based out of Dallas, Texas. Photography initially started out as a creative outlet for me, not a profession. I actually worked for a fortune 500 company for almost 15 years prior to my making the leap into the creative world. Our ideal client is small to medium sized businesses. We live in the visual age; Facebook, Instagram, Twitter along with various other social media platforms require us to be extremely creative with our imagery and video. This is where we come into the picture! High quality images, inspiring videos which we make in collaboration with the business owner and designers. No one knows your brand or product better than you! My career path has been pretty diverse, but unexpectedly connected. I have been given the opportunity to marry together both my desire to create along with my business brain. I could not have asked for a more fulfilling path." -Brent www.sidebproductionsllc.com FaceBook @sidebproductionsllc Instagram @sidebproductions Twitter @sidebprollc

"Got a BFA from TCU in Graphic Design, freelanced all through college, worked at Tractorbeam and then Switch before leaving design world to stay home with our newborn triplets in 2011. Realized working for someone else was not going to work with our new giganto family so while doing some freelance design work here and there, I started learning a lot more about photography, had a lot of brain picking conversations with friends who were photographers, and asked friends to let me "practice" taking their family photos. During my first few years as a working photographer I assisted on a couple of weddings and realized I was pretty good at it, and started a wedding photography business with a partner in 2014. I split my time between family and wedding photos along with other small commercial jobs interspersed throughout and have been doing a combination of those practices ever since. Right now I'm continuing to photograph families, interiors, headshots and a small number of weddings each year. I'm applying to grad school for an MFA in intermedia art to begin next year." -Christina https://www.christinachildress.com/ @christinachildressphoto https://www.facebook.com/christinachildressweddings/

"I studied biology in college with plans to become a physical therapist, but looking back I was always fated to become a photographer for the social media masses -- as evidenced by me taking photos of raindrops on roses in the front yard as a child and trading minutes practicing piano for points towards my mom's point and shoot film camera. (I never earned the camera unfortunately, but I bargained my way into her letting me take it to disneyland..) Currently I've reached my lifelong goal of being comfortable in calling myself a "photographer" and absolutely love my clients and what I do. Most of what I shoot is social media oriented -- I work with a lot of local bloggers, businesses, restaurants, hotels, and events. I'm from Los Angeles, but Dallas has stolen my heart.

"My first glimpse of the power of storytelling was in 2000 on my first trip overseas to Bulawayo, Zimbabe.
