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.

When Nike decided to dive into Training, they asked us to create an experience targeted at both teen and adult consumers. There, they could learn about how to train right, and to train using Nike SPARQ equipment. We came back with five sites each specifically targeted towards a Nike vertical, filled with downloadable informational videos from official SPARQ trainers, and printable guides to go along with each exercise.
