Say Hello

If you'd like to learn more about any past projects, are interested in working together, or even just have some new music to recommend please reach out. I love getting to know new people.

Thanks for submitting!

A bit about me...

I’m a designer, music lover, and a total nature-nerd who is obsessed with creativity, experimentation, and functionality. Basically, I love making things that look good, but serve a purpose.

At my day job I split my time between leading design projects and managing an awesome team of designers.

When I’m not making a mess on a whiteboard you can find me obsessing over a new band, tinkering in my workshop, or happily getting lost in the woods.
