Bringing a Punk Rock Perspective to B2B, B2C, and SaaS Brands for Over Two Decades.
I’ve always been drawn to visual design.
Even before I knew design was my calling, I’d been designing things. When I was young, I created computer screens drawn on paper to pretend I had a computer. I designed, drew, and sold my first comic to my schoolmates in the 6th grade. I didn’t even know being an artist was a thing you could be then.
Going through high school, I was lucky enough to have an actual graphic design class. I was hooked once I realized that this was a thing people could do as a job.
Commercial arts—specifically design and branding—are just figuring out a puzzle. You have to plan, build the pieces, and then put them together. It’s a multi-role job that combines your perspective, values, and life experience with a message that needs to cause a reaction in others.
Over 20 years past, I’ve always tried to bring a unique look and feel to my work no matter the budget or size of a project. I love combining hand-drawn elements, my own photography, and the punk DIY ethos I love.
Some of the Clients I’ve Worked With
Standing Out from the Crowd in a Responsible, Socially Ethical Way
The marketplace is more crowded than ever and shows no signs of slowing down. Brands and websites are constantly fighting to grab users' attention and succeed. With new technology racing faster and faster, it can be easy to be lured into the easy road of "just good enough."
You need to break your message through, but how?
Over the years, the brands I’ve worked with have all understood one thing: Their core values make them stand out from their competitors, cheap ripoffs, and Johnny Come Lately types.
The grounding principle that keeps me focused is one rooted in the punk DIY mindset: Don't compromise your values, utilize limits as an advantage, speak plainly and directly, and don't fear the hard path.
