Growing up in the midwest, I learned how to be creative from Nickelodeon, Charles Shultz, and the Muppets. After attending Indiana University, I made my way to NYC and landed a job at HarperCollins Publishers (learning how tell a book's story with shapes, colors, and a couple of words).

Over the years since, I've been a Principal Designer at innovation agency IA Collaborative, painter, speaker, and currently AD Product Strategy at Code & Theory.

I've won some awards.
