I graduated from Northern Illinois University in 2008 with a B.F.A. in Visual Communications ๐. During my 16 years ๐ in the design field, I've had the privilege to have worked and learned from Studio North, Hans Design, Moira & Company, Aon Hewitt, Quill.com, Merge Design + Interactive, Zeller Marketing & Design, and JupiterOne. Currently, I'm an Art Director at ControlUp โฌ๏ธ.
I'm inspired โค๏ธโ๐ฅ by modernist graphic design and illustration, antique emblems and logos, Disney, Americana, Paul Rand, Michael Beirut, Frank Lloyd Wright, editorial design, data visualization, motion design, patterns, collages, textures, and much more. I love to learn, experiment and keep up with the latest design and technology trends ๐.
I live in Illinois ๐ with my wife, two daughters and a floppy-eared beagle ๐ถ. In my free time, I enjoy listening and learning about old-time, early country, Bluegrass, blues and jazz music. ๐ง, picking five-string banjo ๐ช and guitar, running ๐๐ผ, eating yummy food ๐ฎ ๐ and having fun with my family ๐จโ๐ฉโ๐งโ๐ง. All love and respect for everyone โ๐ป.
