I grew up on a kind of hippy-commune where all my toys were made of wood and imagination was my only screen time. This forced me to be a creative thinker from the start. I drew and sold my first logo when I was twelve and still feel inspired every day to discover new ways of communicating peoples stories and passion. I create things that are designed to be used and enjoyed. Not just admired but interacted with. That demonstrate knowledge and feel personal. Because this is what makes design memorable.

During my almost 20 year career I've been lucky to work with some of the world’s most admired brands — companies like Alaska Airlines, Lululemon, GAP, Madison Square Garden, Target, TOMS, HBO, Marvel, TED, and CNN. In recent years I've helped startups including AutoLotto, Spoon Rocket, Healthiest, Trizic and Prevail design successful products and raise millions in funding.
