Husband. Father. Designer ....

I'm a Creative Director with Marks. (formerly SGK), in Portland, Oregon leading the development of engaging environmental experiences and seeding moments for global brands. I direct and guide a team of incredibly talented designers, stewarding our process from ideation and visualization to final build. 

Prior to the activation and event world, I spent a few years at a boutique ad agency creating and telling brand stories with amazing people. From print and packaging to user interface, I oversaw all design that left the shop. I have a sketch first mindset, with piles of loose doodles everywhere. If that concept doesn't work in a thumbnail, it's never going to fly in a final execution. I have a passion of type and illustration that i pursue in any free time.

I was born and raised in Portland, which doesn't mean I love the rain, it just means that I never carry an umbrella. In my spare moments I can be found chasing a couple kids around the house or a soccer ball around the pitch.
