WHAT'S MY DEAL
I come from the land of corn and cows, inspired by the beauty in simplicity and practicality. These values, instilled in me by my homeland, gave me an appreciation for elegant things that just work.
Okay, this isn't my farm but I wish it was.
WORDS I LIVE BY
“Good design is actually a lot harder to notice than poor design, in part because good designs fit our needs so well that the design is invisible.”

WHAT I'VE BEEN UP TO
Scout
I built and led a team of 42 kickass students. Put on events like Interventions Design Conference, designed and built real solutions for real clients, and lead the conversation about Design at Northeastern University. Check it out.
Bad Design
After the Scout days, I started a multidisciplinary design studio with the brilliant Julia Wilson. We built brands and websites for established clients like The NEVCA and products for industry innovators like Hi Marley - all while traveling the world.
Rocket Insights
The doors of Bad Design have been shut (for now!) after we were acquired by the fantastic team at Rocket Insights and launched Rocket NYC. Now we work with the insanely talented team at Rocket to develop thoughtful and performant digital products.
