“They who dream by day are cognizant of many things
—Edgar Allan Poe
I've loved creating things for as long as I can remember. As an eight-year-old kid, my dad traded in the dinosaur PC we'd had since ‘88 for one that ran Windows. I discovered Microsoft Paint and figured out how to draw Wolverine. I printed it out, took it to school, and became a hero. Fast-forward a few decades, and it's the same basic idea: whether with branding, UI/UX design, or through creative leadership, I still aim to create work that resonates with people.
I've become middle-aged, and life is finally getting good. I've hit my stride in both my personal and professional life, and I reckon I may be entering a golden age. My wife brightens every day with a magnetic charm, and now, as my teens weather their first broken hearts, I’m grateful there are some lessons I’ll never have to relearn.
Pushing forty, I’ve created four great kids and countless Photoshop files. I’ve uploaded some of the better ones to this site. Let me know if anything resonates with you or if you’d like to know more about any of these projects. Maybe we can collaborate on something great!
