philisophy*
Over 12 professional years I've developed a sense of taste, design, culture,
and humanity. I harness this to make work worthy of people's attention.
These are some things I've noticed.
* subject to change. always listening, always learning. always evolving.
listen more, talk less
have an opinion
boring is BORING
people are smart
technology is (mostly) good
make them feel something
good qual leads to good quant
(not vice versa)
past work
the nitty gritty.
when born number 6 of 8 children the first skills you learn are survival and healthy tolerance for chaos. school took me to baltimore and richmond. curiosity took me to live in bangkok.
and when 72andsunny LA asked me to join them as their first creative technologist, the answer was easy. somewhere along the way there i became a senior art director (and part-time writer) working on the biggest brands with the smartest people.
after 6 years at 72andsunny it was then decided i wanted to learn from more amazing people and places. that's when i started freelancing. another 6 years later i'm still getting paid to solve business problems with creativity. how lucky am i?
i started my own coffee roasting company, Beanboy Quality Systems. and in my free time i mountain bike, photograph, video game, play music, and work on restoring my tangerine 1973 BMW.
