ALI LOPES DESIGN

I've always been passionate for words and pictures. Growing up you could usually find me with my nose in a book or a crayon in hand. I also had a love for Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. As you may remember, they befriended a reporter, April O'Neil. So, taking all these things into account when time came to "grow up" and venture out into the real world I decided to major in Journalism Graphics... I graduated from Ball State University in Muncie, Indiana (home of Garfield and David Letterman) in 2009. After a few years in journalism working for the Gannett Southeast papers I was given the opportunity to join the creative team at Cross Point Church in Nashville, Tennessee. At Cross Point I was able to use my skills in design and communications as well as put to use my passion for details and planning (who doesn't love planning a good creative meeting after all?).
