Me?

I’m a born problem seer, problem solver, and clear communication junkie. I aimlessly applied these inclinations throughout my youth until I reached college, where they were finally funneled into graphic design by a wonderful professor named Watson. We’re still friends.

There’s a longer version of the story in which I would tell you all about my 17 years in the entertainment industry as a comedic writer and actor, picking up experience in advertising, commercials, episodic television, feature films, direction, and production. There’d be name-dropping. No big deal.

As a logo and visual identity designer and illustrator, I’ve been freelancing professionally since 2014. I was grateful to win a contract with Ring.com to develop the logo and iconography for their Neighbors app, and to serve as Creative Director with a fintech startup for a year—a trial by fire that involved developing their entire visual identity, and an animated explainer video of their primary financial product. I was the Brand and Marketing Designer for a medtech startup, a Senior Art Director for a sports marketing agency, and currently serve as an official vendor for Avery Dennison’s corporate division.

All that to say…

Yes: logos, for sure. But also: I’m a well-rounded, multidisciplinary designer with more than just Adobe skills. Somebody who doesn’t blindly follow trends, but rather takes the time to understand them and consider whether they’ll solve your problem.

  • 25 years’ experience in design, illustration, and creative content development

  • Past 10 years devoted to logo, brand, and marketing design

  • Adobe Illustrator expert

  • Communication nerd

  • OCD-level attention to detail

  • Business with a handshake (and a contract)

  • Faith in humanity

  • Pareidoliac (I see faces in all sorts of places, as evidenced by my Insta)

Watson encouraged me to question everything. To ask “Who is this for?” and approach every design problem from the perspective of that end user. I left school with the mantra “find what’s working, enhance that, and minimize the rest,” and I still mumble it in my sleep.
