Coloring books never stood a chance when I was young. I spent my youth emulating Jim Davis and dreaming of the day I could draw horses as well as my older sister. By the time I reached the seventh grade, my dreams of becoming a magician had been replaced by ones of art and design. I love design because there is never a “right” answer. You can’t just open a textbook to find a solution. Design solutions come from dust, ink spots and a little bit of magic. I recently relocated to Seattle, Washington and am thrilled to be back on the west coast. I love meeting new people, whether it's to work together, create something or just drink wine, I'm in.
