solving problems to soften the sharp edges of life
I use design to improve products and experiences to soften the sharp edges of life. I spend my free time skateboarding, woodworking, and exploring the enchanted Pacific North West.
I am currently the creative director at ICG, where I lead a passionate creative team to realize better professional development for educators all over the world.
Before that, I apprenticed under Clinton Carlson while earning my BFA in Communication Design from the University of North Texas.
I've maintained a freelance design practice for close to a decade, and I'm always looking for great people to work with and new challenges to learn from.
Though my process is ever-evolving, it’s consistently rooted in listening, learning, and play.
I believe design is “hope made visible.” More than something I create to be posted, shared, or sold, I see design as a toolkit for making focused steps toward a better world (and having a little fun along the way).
I enjoy collaborating with big thinkers who aren’t afraid to try something new. Sometimes that looks like user research and thoughtful web design, a new product for online education, or even dreamy album artwork for a great band.
