About

I’m a Creative Strategist (among many other things) who is trying to make stuff that is different, interesting, mouthwatering and helps push culture a bit. I spent an amazing year  as part of Platform at Wieden + Kennedy London, and now I’m working as a Non-Traditional Creative in the Portland office.

WHAT I’M INTO:

Sarcasm. Rude/inappropriate commentary. Drawing. Singing. Playing the piano/guitar. Learning how to record music. Trolling thrift stores, garage sales and craigslist for weird treasures. Letterpress & Screen printing. Collecting things. Learning about arduino and toy hacking. Idea journals. Geocaching. Rock Hounding. Traveling. The brain & what makes us tick. Psychology, phrenology, palm reading, gut feelings, and info aesthetics – usually all together. Meteor showers. Trying new things. Baking cakes and mastering culinary shit. TED Lectures. Sugar Highs. Trying to be funny. Trying to be a better writer. Embracing failure. For more, just ask.
