About

I'm Accepting select freelance projects that don't conflict with my full-time position.

I'm an explosive box of sticky ideas.

WHAT DO?

• line art & illustration

• logos & logo-stuff

• package & print design

I enjoy arranging pixels to make people notice things.

• I like and respect white space.

• I like questions & answers.

• I will occasionally make us all laugh uncomfortably.
