( Design Philosophy )
I believe design should be clear, useful, and grounded in real decisions. I look for the simple truth in a problem, then build from there. My focus is on work that feels honest, communicates fast, and gives teams a path they can trust.
. Backstory
I grew up in Michigan and found design early. I didn’t know what a brand was yet, but I knew how certain things made me feel and wanted to learn how to shape that. I started with pencil sketches, took a few classes, and picked up small projects for friends, which led to my first agency job. Since then I’ve worked as a designer, art director, and creative director across in-house teams and agencies. Through that work I learned that a brand is more than a mark. It’s knowing the user, asking better questions, and building clear stories that support the business.
I enjoy digging into behavior, studying the market, and helping a team find the simple path through a problem. Outside of work I spend most of my time outdoors, from hunting and fishing to snowmobiling and enduro mountain biking. People tell me I’m steady, honest, and easy to work with, and I try to bring that to every project. I want my next chapter to focus on leading a team, teaching, and helping a brand grow with clear creative direction.
