About Me
Welcome! Below is some information about me as well as some of my work and experience! You can also acess it above from the menu!
Hi! My name is Stuart Blake and I am currently a third year student at Troy. I am a graphic design major and a photography minor. My interests lie with video, filmmaking, photography, and storytelling. Some of my other hobbies include video editing, logo design, learning more about typography, and experimenting with design in general! In this page you will be able to find some of the work I have created along with some of my skills, education, references, and my contact information!
Experience
• Raindrop Car Wash (2020-2021)
• Berry Football Filmer and Manager (2021-2022)
• Big Spoon Creamery (2023-2023)
• Blenz Bowls
(2023-Present)
I worked along side a team to wash cars. I also worked in some sales positions selling monthly passes. I also worked to clean equipment several days a week.
I worked along side coaches and players to film practices and games to provide a way for players to review games.
I worked to provide customers with quality ice cream and hospitality. I practiced lots of communication and hospitality through this role.
Similar to Big Spoon I am currently working along side a team to provide quality smoothies and bowls to students on campus and provide them with a friendly smile and a compliment.
Berry College
Film
Communications
During my time at Berry College I was studying communications with an emphasis on film. I only studied there for about a year before I transfered to Troy University in 2022. During my time at Berry I learned principles of digital storytelling, speech and rhetoric, some journalism principles, and several skills that pushed me to learn more about storytelling and cinematography.
TROY UNIVERSITY
Graphic Design
Photography
After Transfering to Troy University I changed my course of study to focus more on graphic design with a minor study in photography. I wanted to do something that closely related to film, but was more creative, artistic, and entrepreneurial. I still have a great passion for film and practice it when I can. I have been at Troy since 2022 and will graduate in 2025 with my Bachelor of Science degree. Below is some of my work including drawing, photo, design, and video projects.
