I’m a multi-disciplinary designer and artist, helping brands grow for more than 25 years. Originally from Dallas, I studied art and design at the University of North Texas, earning a BFA with honors. Thanks to a friend, I moved to Portland, OR where my fascination and career in graphic design really took off. Beginning with Nike, I had the privilege of learning from some of the best creative thinkers in the industry, designing at studios like Weiden+Kennedy, Ziba Design, Sandstrom Partners, Cinco, and Ditroën. I continued my education in Boston, receiving an MFA from the School of the Museum of Fine Arts and Tufts University. I currently live with my wife and daughter in the suburbs of Boston.

My creative energy has always centered on developing the best solutions to speed brand growth. Whether building brands in sports, finance, real estate, or technology, I love working with other creative thinkers, developing a set of ideas from start to finish. I’ve worked with medium to large-scale businesses building, modernizing, and scaling their brands to successfully compete in the marketplace. It’s a great opportunity when business challenges can be solved with better design, but a clear brand strategy is critical too. Spending ad budget without a plan or goal rarely works, no matter how good the design looks.
