About Me

Design is in my DNA; I come from a lineage of artists, musicians, teachers, and designers. In my early teens, I became captivated by screen printing, creating my own posters and limited-edition T-shirt designs. My passion extended to photography, where I even considered a career in commercial photography. However, I ultimately found my true calling and stayed with graphic design, where my creativity truly flourished.

With 20 years of experience, I’ve worked on projects for digital banking, database platforms, e-commerce and outdoor product brands, helping to build customer trust and engagement.

Based in Seattle, WA, I thrive on adventure and creativity! When I’m not immersed in design, you’ll find me exploring the stunning outdoors year-round with my amazing wife. My days are filled with joy as I shuttle my two wonderful girls to their after-school activities. And by night, I bring the energy, spinning records at local bars, keeping the city alive with music.
