about / 01

Twenty years of design and production craft.

I've spent two decades at the intersection of creative design and real-world production — large format, signage, identity systems, photography, and lately 3D design & printing. I've led teams, managed multi-million-dollar print equipment, and shipped work that has to be right the first time.

My background spans design, prepress, and production — the result is creative work that prints clean, holds color, and ships on schedule.

"Designers who only design forget what the substrate does at noon. I learned the hard way, and the work is better for it."

I'm currently looking for part-time and contract design work — layout, prepress, retouching, identity, and production support. Remote-friendly for clients anywhere in the U.S.
