About me

Originally from Dayton, Ohio, I attended the University of Cincinnati College of Design, Architecture, Art, and Planning (DAAP), where I alternated semesters of school and full-time work experience.

I gained my passion for design from punk rock, skateboarding, and the ethos of being part of those communities. They instilled an enterprising spirit and an endless curiosity about how to do things myself and help others thrive.

My experience in design and writing and my unique background as a gigging musician have honed my ability to work closely with other creatives, communicate effectively, and engage with diverse groups of people—skills that translate seamlessly to working as part of cross-functional teams in environments that require adaptability.

I do my best to live an active, balanced life between my two equally creative and challenging passions: problem-solving design work and the personal artistic expression of playing music.
