My Story

I have always had a love of great stories. Be they epic or mundane, true to life or wild-spun fantasies, or just anecdotes about life, I wanted to hear them. As I got older, I knew it was my calling in life to not just listen to the great stories of the world, but to help share them with others.

In the last year I’ve made the weird-but-exciting leap from living in South Minneapolis’ Powderhorn Park neighborhood to packing up all of our worldly possessions (plus a toddler and three cats) and driving across the country to live in New England and possibly get some chickens.

The last two years working freelance and staying at home to raise my son have been some of the most fun I’ve had in a long time… If you ignore the whole COVID19 thing.

I am excited to get back out there and start telling stories again, and I am ready to sharpen my wit and my pencils (I’m a pencil guy, don’t @ me) to make the world a bit more lively. Reach out if you want to learn more about what I do or work together on a project!

Collaboration

Working in teams on projects large and small is how I roll. Remotely or in-person, as long as you have ideas I have the drive.

Experimentation

Nobody wants to keep churning out the same old designs time after time. Risk-taking with sound research is how I get the most out of your brand.

Dedication

I pour my heart into every project, to make sure your final result is something that you will love and your stakeholders will truly feel.

My Process


I will work within your organization’s framework to create materials that serve your internal and external clients. See my design and layout skills at work.

Let’s work together

Reach out and connect, and we can make something totally excellent together.
