A tad stuck…

I’ve always heard people say that “designing for yourself is hardest of all,” and I have never felt this so acutely.

Hello again my friends…

I’ve come to realize that all my success as a designer isn’t because I’ve done anything all that great, but rather that God has blessed me with some incredible friends, mentors, colleagues, and family.

It’s been a little minute but…. we’re back.

Merry Christmas friends!

I promised myself I would have a brand new graphic for one of my favorite days of the year, but turns out the season is pretty chaotic. 🤷‍♂️

All is not Lost

Well, it has certainly been a while. This year was one of insane frustration and pain for us all. These days, we are hard-pressed to find someone who hasn’t become acquainted with deep loss. As if COVID wasn’t bad enough; tragedy, terrorism, hate, and disaster seem to be on the rise too. Where do we go from here?

Design as Community

I wanted to share some of the resources that have most helped me over the years. The following is a highlight but certainly doesn’t encompass the community of designers, professionals, clients, and awesome individuals I described earlier. These links represent some incredible minds that don’t cease to provide inspiration to any aspiring human.

Inspire - Day 2

It is a fantastic thing to find and enjoy rest. Yes, it is nice to be productive, but I’m a firm believer that our job should never come at the expense of our joy.

The Picture Book

We had high hopes and, frankly, even higher delusions. After devoting weeks of our time to building a website, buffing up a portfolio, and gaining a couple small clients we thought we were all set.
