FAQs
How do you spend your time?In tandem with designing full time, I partner with brands like Dagne Dover, The Arrivals, Floyd, and Gantri to create imaginative content and experiences for the wild world of digital media. I escape to the mountains every chance I get. And I add to my (very serious) growing collection of clothing hangtags/swing tags (300+).
Where do you find inspiration?
55% print material—publications, ripped wildpostings, packaging, collateral. 30% outdoors—architecture, nature, shifting daylight, streetwear. 14% other design work. 1% rocks.
What is your preferred state of mind?
Borderline bored—not overstimulated—with a clear sense of direction. This state of mind supports my imagination and fuels my state of play.
What keeps you going?
Curiosity for worlds other than my own. Good design. Solid conversations. The color in the brightest part of the tennis ball emoji → [🎾]. Cool footwear. And my partner’s championship (+ his mean lattes).
