For over 20 years, I’ve shaped design and art direction. Starting in Columbus and New York, I built teams and created work I’m extremely proud of, with amazing brands and even more amazing people. But over time, it felt like I was living someone else’s story. So I let go.
For eight years now, I’ve been moving… through countries, working fully remote, letting the textures of new places shape how I see and create. It’s how I stay connected. To the world, to the work, to myself. Design is one of my practices. I enjoy shaping brands with presence, telling stories that resonate, and partnering with those who feel the pulse of what they do. But I’ve come to see it’s all one. The work, the travel, the noticing.
I try to stay curious. I try to stay aware. I try to make work that’s real.
Thanks for being here. If this resonates, let’s see what we can create together
