Joseph Gonzalez

In some shape or form, design has always been a part of me. I can’t remember a time when creativity hasn't flowed through my veins - first out of necessity - now a trained skill. 

I've managed to craft this love for the arts into a profession and have been blessed to do so for more than 16 years. 

I currently work as the Creative Director at +WeCreate Media in Valparaiso, IN. I am an artist under the alias Miracletwentyone and I photograph as Blackbean Photography. I am a struggling Christian, father of 3, truly a lucky husband to a hard working wife. 

I've co-founded and help manage the Insight Conference, with Kevin Bruinsma. Lastly I am the author of Over Here: A collection of NWI Creatives.
