OODLES OF UNICORN SKETCHES, 128K OF RAM, & ONE PESKY BROTHER

As a child, I spent most of my free time drawing awkward characters of my deserving brother and unicorns leaping over rainbows — all eventually showcased on my mother's refrigerator.
 

When I was twelve, my father bought my first Macintosh computer, equipped with 128K of RAM, MacPaint software and a new tool called the mouse. After years of proud bit-mapped caricatures and oodles of unicorn sketches, I decided to take things to the next level.
 

Years of study later (while discovering my unicorns were not “all that”), I graduated with a Bachelor of Fine Arts, With Emphasis in Graphic Design.

I began my career as a Graphic Designer and Illustrator, creating collectible products for major entertainment and sports brands. From there, I moved into website and digital design as a Senior Designer at KFMB, where I discovered that I loved more than creating something beautiful — I loved figuring out how it should work, how information should be organized, and how people would experience it.

Eventually, I took a leap of faith and built my own design business. Since then, my work has grown across branding, websites, e-commerce, UX/UI, illustration, information design, print and environmental experiences. I've had the opportunity to work directly with business owners and teams, taking projects from an initial problem or idea through strategy, design and execution.

The tools have changed quite a bit since MacPaint and 128K of RAM, but the part I love hasn't: taking an idea, figuring out what it needs to become, and bringing it to life.

And although I have yet to be commissioned to illustrate unicorns leaping over rainbows, I still love what I do.
