I'm an art director working in interactive design, and occasionally motion design. I love design – be it with digital or print; graphic or industrial; furniture or architectural.

An outdoorsy fellow by nature, I enjoy non-traditional sports, making steel furniture, pondering philosophy, rocking/ chilling to music (which is a huge motivator and inspiration to me), and cooking.

Adobe Max Web Site   client: Adobe   agency: AKQA  /  2009 Adobe Max Web Site
AKQA New York, along with Vasava and RED, were chosen to create the 2009 site for the Adobe MAX Developer conference. The theme was 'the urban city', and we were specifically tasked with visually representing that through typography. The end result created fiver different cities, and a combination of 10 different typefaces, building a virtual city from words submitted by users. The more time a word was entered, the larger its typographic version became. At the conference, Adobe chose our design to become the cover of the guide, and one half of the tote bag, along with being plastered on giant posters all over the event.
