My secret sauce is mixing creative with strategy and a lot of spice. Sort of like Sriracha.

Creative Director. Art Director.
Late-Night Writer. Aspiring Naturalist.
Forever Student.
In a different life I would've been a field biologist. Or a comic book writer. Or an industrial designer. Or a functional food entrepreneur. Or a scientific illustrator. Or a poet. Or a mechanical engineer. Or a media studies professor. Or a video game developer.
Instead I leverage all of those interests and curiosities to creatively solve problems, help build brands and tell stories that connect with people.

MY CREATIVE PHILOSOPHY
MY CREATIVE PHILOSOPHY
Stay Curious.
Listen Closely.
Be Kind.
Stay Curious.
Listen Closely.
Be Kind.
Originally from the mountains of Colorado, I can now be found among the trees of Minnesota. When I’m not crafting ideas for clients, I like to spend my time making things with my hands, obsessing over an eclectic range of curiosities, reading graphic novels, fermenting everything, and foraging through the woods.
I don’t believe in being bored, but I do believe in the power of a good question and being good toward people. I once spent a summer dissecting thousands of snails for parasites as a recovering engineering student. Now I try to positively engineer culture.
In my past life I helped launch brands at Fallon, had intermittent hits across the Carmichael Lynch brand portfolio, and loved all things Subaru. Now building at Vital Proteins, the leading collagen brand in America.
