Founded BEHRDESIGN as a YouTube channel and developed it into a full service freelance design business serving both local clients and national brands. Specialized in brand identity, digital assets, esports/gaming graphics, and creative marketing solutions.

I have scripted, designed, and edited over 300 educational videos covering Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, Premier, After Effects, and Cinema 4D. Created creative tips, weekly series (i.e.Top 5 Designs of the Week), and content that would help grow aspiring creatives.

2014 - 2019
Founded in 2014, BEHRDESIGN began as a personal brand for my YouTube channel, where I shared speed arts and motion design to showcase my skills with hopes of joining top gaming organizations like OpTic, FaZe, Obey, and SoaR. Over time, the channel evolved into an educational platform, focusing on tutorials and resources to help aspiring creatives grow their skills.

My First Tutorials
In 2014, at just 13 years old, I created my first few tutorials. It took a lot of courage to record my voice and screen while designing live for an audience, but it marked the start of building a growing community of aspiring graphic designers.

2015 - All In On Tutorials
YouTube was still relatively small at the time, with limited partnership options beyond networks like Machinima and Freedom. Money wasn’t the motivation, passion was. That’s when I decided to fully commit to creating tutorials for the graphic design community.

During this time, I noticed a clear trend in the type of content my viewers engaged with most. I shifted my focus toward creating more content tailored to the growing eSports and gaming communities surrounding titles like Call of Duty, Halo, and CS:GO long before games like Fortnite, Apex Legends, and Valorant existed.

Top 5 Designs, Graphic Packs, and Portfolio Reviews
As my channel and audience expanded, I started creating graphic design packs filled with assets like fonts, brushes, lighting effects, and stock images, releasing them to celebrate milestone subscriber counts. I also introduced new series such as Top 5 Designs of the Week and portfolio reviews.
