About Me

An art director and graphic designer based in Seattle, WA. I love to create, collaborate, and do my part in making my corner of the world a little easier on the eyes. My overwhelming creative drive wakes me up in the morning and keeps me up at night. But who am I really and what's it like to work with me? I love good jokes, good movies, and big ideas. I love focusing on overarching concepts and creative solutions that stretch across every touchpoint possible. My dream job is getting paid to visualize the next big thing while eating a hot slice of pizza.
