Helping ideas connect
Graphic design blends art and strategy to help shape an experience. It helps people understand, remember, and connect with an idea. Design is everywhere in our world carrying information, emotion, and influence.
I specialize in building brands for companies or content creators using their influence to build a better world or grow meaningful communities. My background in graphic design, concept art, and illustration allows me to combine artistic skill with strategy, creating work that’s visually strong, interesting, and communicative.

More about me
I live in Southern Ohio with my wife and our three cats: Samwise, Pearl, and Hazy Jane. I enjoy drawing, playing video games, writing, conversations around tradition and new ways to think, reading fantasy books, watching movies in my pajamas, drinking coffee, cider or other fancy drinks, and cooking vegan dishes with my wife. I also think about life in the Shire and why Samwise Gamgee is the hero of saga.
