A Bit More About Me
Design is Music is Design
Different languages, same goal: connection.
My work in design and songwriting draws from the same instincts — storytelling, craft, and emotional resonance — shaping ideas that invite engagement and response.
What I enjoy about work
1. Collaborating with thoughtful, positive people.
2. Doing challenging and interesting work while learning and growing.
3. Enjoying the process — and hopefully even sharing a few laughs along the way.
From Hoosier to Angeleno
I grew up in northern Indiana and, after graduating from Purdue University, moved to Los Angeles to be in a creative city with great weather and landscapes. I’ve made Southern California home and enjoy the balance of creative work and coastal life.
