(introduction)

The story behind me.

Twenty years of building brands, businesses, and the software that runs them.

20+ Years Experience

I’m Carlos—a designer-turned-developer, photographer, and business owner rooted in Lafayette, Louisiana. My journey started in church media over 20 years ago and has since grown into a multi-faceted career that spans web and app development, branding, photography, and hospitality. I currently serve as COO and full-stack developer at Accolades I.T., and own several ventures including Ohh Snap Booth, Java Square Café, and Carlos + Ashley Photography. I’m passionate about using design and technology to help others tell their story—and I love coffee enough to roast and serve it daily. Let’s build something that lasts.
