Hi! I’m a designer, illustrator, and writer living in Baltimore.
This website is where I put my everything. Random thoughts, blog posts, drawings, design projects, and longform essays. It’s also a place where I try out ideas and experiment.
Patapsco
An illustrated essay about Patapsco Valley State Park. This forest has been a constant in my life since I first stumbled into Baltimore as a student. Now I find myself introducing it to my daughter.
Prints & paintings
Over the past decade, I’ve become fascinated with printmaking. I’ve gradually developed a working process that combines digital and traditional techniques, and I’m forever exploring the complicated ways that ink and paper work together to form an image. It’s a rabbit hole I’ll probably never see the bottom of.
Design work
My first gig was a website for an employment office in my hometown. I was lucky to get that job, and I’ve been lucky ever since; I’ve worked with many clients who do great work that I’m proud to contribute to.
Along the way I’ve followed a winding path, but branding and user interface (UX/UI) design have become specialties. I especially love the way that branding and user experience influence one another, and I love building a brand concept out into a living design system.
