Seattle, Washington, United States
I love to create — whether it’s a drawing, a painting, a user interface, a song, a loaf of bread, a story, or even a well-timed joke. Bringing ideas to life brings me immense joy. Art, in all its forms, has been central to my journey. It’s sustained me personally, provided for me professionally, and continues to be a thrill to share. For the past two-plus decades, I’ve been able to turn that love of creating into a career as a graphic designer. What I enjoy most about design is the storytelling — the artful puzzle of bringing ideas to life in a memorable, user-centered way. Being both a caretaker and craftsman of others’ stories. Much of my experience has been with start-ups, helping build strong visual foundations for growing companies and their clients. Over the years, I’ve worked in nearly every capacity — from freelancer to production artist to creative director. I’ve led internal branding efforts, delivered work for Fortune 50 clients, and screen-printed t-shirts for friends. Whatever the story, I’m passionate about helping bring it to life.
