I’m a Senior Designer & Art Director. I’m part graphic designer, part illustrator, part animator, part project manager. I have a million thoughts racing through my brain all of the time, and pick out the best ones and apply them to projects.
I started working at Go Media shortly after I ended my internship at Thunder Tech in December of 2005. Two weeks later, through an amazing stroke of luck, Bill and Wilson were looking for a super-cool guy to join them in the basement of their townhome to work on awesome projects. They were cool with me working part time until I graduated from school (the Cleveland Institute of Art, class of 07)and I’ve been here ever since.
I’m proficient in the realms of print design, branding, web design, apparel design, and illustration. I also have solid experience with motion design. I’ve been steadily developing my sales skills so that we can continue our goal of world domination.
I make an effort to get excited about every project because I believe there’s always an opportunity to do something awesome. I’m pretty big on being a communicator. I want to make sure that all of the decisions I’m making in a project are conveying something.
My perfect project would be an entire branding campaign that begins with the conceptualization and strategy of the campaign and follows into development and application. This “perfect project” would be for a brand that I’ve been wild about for years and would include an identity system, illustration, type-treatments, apparel, signage, and whatever else would apply at the time. The deliverables would be a knock-out.
Off the Clock:
I play bass in Above this Fire, Cleveland’s premier party-time, super-fast rock band.
I bowl for the unstoppable, 2009 Embroid Me League Champions, Team Sofa King Awesome. We have jerseys and all of the other teams are intimidated by us. My average is on the rise, you should be scared.
I really like riding my bike and my scooter. When I accrue my massive amounts of wealth, I’m going to have a giant 2 wheeled vehicle collection.
I am incredibly pumped to play any type of sport. I sit in front of a computer all day, and need to run around.
I’m also pretty big on hanging out with my friends and getting rowdy. My drink of choice is the mighty Gulden Draak.
