Been here, done that. Looking to do more of it.
Ask me about
Inspiration for the signage at SEA airport, and why the heck are they changing it all to black and white?! WTF?!
My super power is
Hand sketching details of how to put stuff together.
I'm looking for
Some creative AF mixed-use properties that need a stand up creative.
What I love about experience design
Yorkshire Terriers are adorable and loyal.
Best piece of advice I've ever heard
Don’t become an architect, become an artist. And with the idea that my parents may not have survived that path, I became a graphic designer.
Where I find Inspiration
Barcelona.
