I am a graphic and web designer with over 20 years of experience, currently based in Ventura, California. I thrive on creative challenges and enjoy collaborating, questioning, and understanding—aiming to make things work better, look more beautiful, and ultimately deliver improved results.
I grew up skating, snowboarding, drawing, building tree forts, and rebuilding lawn mowers. Before pursuing design, I dreamed of becoming either an animator or a professional skateboarder. Neither of those came true—but I did have lunch with Tony Hawk once. I love to travel, often for those interests, but more so because it keeps me challenged, helps me gain new perspectives, expands my creativity, and deepens my appreciation for life. This led my wife and me to sell everything and move into an Airstream with our two sons so we could travel the country, all while I remotely operated my freelance design business.
Over the span of about four years, we visited 42 states, met amazing people, visited churches, sampled hot wings, explored big cities, small towns, historical sites, museums, and 23 national parks. Along the way, we homeschooled our boys; studying the Bible, drawing, skating, building Legos, and simply living life as a family on the road.
Though life may be back to "normal" and our home is no longer on wheels, the adventures in travel, design, and family continue.
