it started in the late 80s when i would organize my world around me as much as possible. then i grew up, went to school, got a visual communications degree, and worked as a graphic designer, focusing mostly on making books and magazines and really just organizing more things [now on a page or screen].

years later, i added ux and ui skills, worked on my creative writing and storytelling skils, and started practicing mixed media art, experimenting with whatever materials i could find.

throughout it all, i’ve always been a daydreamer and deep thinker, direct communicator, and obsessive music fan; i love and thrive in nature, live an active life and love both the mental and physical challenges this brings, and always appreciate a good thrift find.

i lead with humility, not ego; i see mistakes as learning opportunities, and i will try things even if i don’t know how [i will soon].

i’m driven by curiosity and big ideas but i love a clear plan [sometimes i forget the plan exists]. i’m orderly yet chaotic, meticulous yet experimental, and i listen more than i talk [you can’t empathize if you don’t first listen].

my best work is work that comes about when i embrace my weirdness; the wild ideas and patterns and probably not doing something just because everyone everyone else is doing it.
