me.

I'm a passionate creative with deep experience in all aspects of design and the creative process. Ranging from digital, web, and mobile as well as traditional aspects like print, pre-press, paint, ink, and welding.

 

I truly love being creative. I'm inspired by the smallest things and I'm unable of turning it off. As a kid I raced motocross and came across a guy named Troy Lee, an artist from California of course, who custom painted motocross helmets. So 12 year old me grabbed my helmet, found some of my dads spray paint and went at it.....oof.

They got better, seriously, and I still enjoy painting a helmet or two every now and again. So fast forward a bit. After high school and my racing was for the most part behind me. I decided to go to art school. Enrolled at the Center for Creative Studies, now the College for Creative Studies in Detroit. And for the first time in my life I actually enjoyed school. I loved being there learning and even enjoyed the sleepless nights cranking out projects. I was majoring in Visual Communication, but at the same time I was so interested in everything else that was going on at CCS. In tandem with all my major classes, I was signing up for welding, screen printing, photography and print making classes. 

These days I'm still doing most of that stuff. But I have also worked as a visual designer for clients like Jimmy John's, Chrysler, Jeep, Owens Corning, Pennzoil, Johnson & Johnson, Kimberly Clark, AAA Life, Wall Street Journal, illy Coffee and more. Currently I've been working at a wellness start-up as the sole in house designer. Starting from the ground up with logo and branding moving into mobile app design, product development, web app, employer interface, marketing sales and social and more.

Here's gramps with the tow truck he built, circa 1945ish, after serving in the Belgian army in WWII. He would later sell this truck to buy my grandma a wedding ring, get married, have my dad and eventually move to the United States. That's... eventually...where I come in.
