Hey, I'm Ant !

Founder & CEO of Antioch Creative

As a child, I was obsessed with 2 things: art classes and learning to use the family computer. So when my mom signed me up for Photoshop classes at age 11, I instantly fell in love with graphic design, a perfect pairing of technology and art. At 13, I began freelancing for YouTube creators in the gaming industry, designing Minecraft banners, logos, and thumbnails. Throughout high school, I explored other creative outlets such as photography, videography, and various forms of design, while continuing to freelance for different creators on YouTube. It wasn’t until 2020 that I decided to fully focus and specialize in thumbnail design, starting with gaming creators and streamers and eventually expanding to work with the biggest names and organizations in the e-sports and gaming space.

In 2023, I made a deliberate shift out of the gaming space to expand my thumbnail services into new niches. I was extremely lucky that my skills aligned with a rapidly growing YouTube economy where the demand for compelling thumbnails was rising faster than ever. It was also during this time that I founded Antioch Creative, a specialized design team focused on creating high-performing thumbnails and packaging for digital creators. Today, I'm blessed to be able to work with creators across diverse niches — food, fashion, finance, vlogging, sports, music, education, and many more. I’m also building Thumbnail Academy, an educational community for creators of all sizes. Outside of work, I’m passionate about entrepreneurship, I love playing sports, trying new restaurants, playing the drums, traveling to learn about different cultures.
