I am a multidisciplinary design factory.
My work ranges from print pieces like
this one, to posters like
this one, identities, websites, motion graphics, and anything
else that can be visually communicated. I pride myself in the use of clean typography, simple yet visually stimulating layouts,
and clearly communicated content. Please check out my complete portfolio and resume.

I am a graphic designer and typophile, currently residing in Cincinnati (and sometimes Columbus), Ohio. I was born just outside of Boston, Massachusetts and on the day of my 8th birthday, my family moved to Cincinnati. I recently graduated from the Ohio State University with a BSD in Visual Communication Design and am spending my days playing music and designing pretty things. I enjoy grooming my beard, listening to reggae music, and wishing I had my own cat to sit next to me while I work.
Here is what I can do for you:
Logo/identity design, web design and coding, print design (posters, brochures, business cards, etc.), photo editing,
flash animation, and much more.
Let's work together.
