Introduction
The story behind me.
Twenty years of building brands, businesses, and the software that runs them.
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 also on staff at Our Savior’s Church, coordinating missions for our campus and serving in kids ministry—the same church where my creative career started. 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.
