I’ve been working in photography and design for 17 years, in nearly every kind of work environment. I love being part of a team, but also have experience with handling projects on my own. I’ve created visual brands, and communicated guidelines for others to to apply that brand.

Most of my career has been in design, illustration, and photography. I’ve created minimalist icons for space programs, 8 bit art for games about hamburgers, colorful installations to help kids’ artwork shine, and swag for dev conferences that look like 80s hair metal tour shirts.

My favorite thing that I’ve published is a book called Punk Rock Entrepreneur. I did the cover and interior illustrations for it, and had a book launch and a baby in the same year. I’ve also published theses on Raphael’s papal portraiture and Buddhist transitive states.

I’ve spoken at conferences from Seattle to London, and you can watch a few of those below. I spent several years being involved with WMC Fest, so in addition to speaking there, I also organized a squad of photo and video volunteers to cover the event, and competed in Ink Wars.

I live in Brownsville, Pennsylvania (the header image is the view from our yard), and have two sons (John and Henry) and a cat (Kiki).

I play violin with the Washington Symphony Orchestra, our local amateur symphony. I also play a bit of piano, guitar, and clarinet, and once learned to play the mandolin to get out of singing an especially dull alto part in choir.

I knit and crochet, and have attempted pandemic gardening but not sourdough making. I am frequently bested at Wordle by my own mother.
