Hi there.

I am a graphic designer living in the Chicagoland area, most recently working as the Chief Creative Officer at Swag Golf. I have worked as a designer and creative director in a variety of in-house and agency roles and have experience in just about any design challenge that could be thrown at me—print and digital applications, fast paced and long term projects, from motion graphics to photography to mural painting and everything in between. My greatest design expertise is in typography, which I used to teach in Chicago, and custom lettering. I’ve designed a number of typefaces and I love to paint.

Other facts: I have two daughters and a dog. I collect watches and am an avid Chicago Blackhawks fan. I’m the only student in my high school’s history to win both the Fine Art departmental award and the Physical Education departmental award for excellence in gym class (at least I assume I’m the only one).
