I want to solve problems and create what works best for your brand. Don't let the avatar fool you, I'm warm, I play well with others, and I love what I do. I spent the last few years in a non-traditional setting, doing creative, art direction, and design. I've been lucky because I have worked alongside fantastically smart groups of people. I love the craft of storytelling and how you make that unfold with an audience.

The Influences:
Jim Phillips, pop-art, punk rock, Lester Beall, skateboard culture, and an unusual canon of artists, musicians, and writers.
