Before Unicorn had a name, before the brand had a hex code, before I ever built a campaign that made someone say “woah”—there was this.
The Apprenticeship.
This is the early work created during my time at Minerva Portfolio School at the University of Alabama—the training ground, the proving ground, and the first real spark that told me I wasn’t just learning creativity… I was becoming it.
These projects live here like artifacts in an origin story. Rougher around the edges. Sharper in memory. Blueprints of a creative identity that was still crystallizing, still mutating, still figuring out how big it wanted to become.
I treat this collection the way filmmakers treat their first short films or architects treat their first sketches. Not perfect, but absolutely essential. The kind of work that doesn’t just show progress… it shows inevitability.
If Unicorn Agency LLC is the studio, these are the opening credits.
The early scenes.
The prologue where the hero realizes he’s been holding the sword the whole time.
Welcome to the archive.
This is where the story began, and where the vision first learned to breathe.
