I've spent the last twenty years doing what I love: making things look good and work even better. As an Art Director and Creative Director, I've led design across print, digital, and brand, building the kind of systems that make everything feel cohesive and nothing feel accidental.
These days, I'm expanding what design looks like for me. I take on freelance creative and art direction work, run Good Things, my feel-good brand and personal creative playground, and I'm venturing deeper into surface pattern design — a space where storytelling, color, and craft all get to live together. It's the natural next chapter, and honestly, it's been one of the most creatively alive I've felt in years.
When I'm not in work mode, I'm planning my next trip somewhere I've never been, picking up a new art or craft to add to the hobby collection, or getting the "are you done working yet?" look from Ollie and Boots, who are fully convinced that the PNW is not going to explore itself.
