Currently

As of right now I am a freelance consultant and designer running his own small studio while remaining open to a really great full-time spot as well. In both of those spaces I’m focused on helping brands find their voice, amplify it, and improve the internal processes that make all that magic happen. Behind all of that I’m really just a kid who loves getting into the pit at the hardcore and punk shows, and then gorging myself on the latest stunning cartoon series broken up by a few late night Mortal Kombat matches. I learned how to be a creative leader by bringing my own designer dreams to fruition.

• Producing local rock shows

• Creating zines and just sending them

• Hacked Adobe CS to create everything I could dream of

The whole time I thought I was just making stuff I liked but I was learning how to be resourceful, promote myself, build a persona, and create communities.

I eventually ended up fleeing to Spain to be with my now wife where I learned a bit of Spanish and figuring out how to network and work from overseas.

Now I’m back in the US and hitting the ground running with issue 2 of my coffee table book series, finding my footing again in the local scene, and learning more about what’s popping off these days. (Is that still a phrase?)

All in all, you have to go make the thing you want to happen, happen. Because no one else will do it for you.
