I am a senior art director currently working in Grand Rapids, Michigan, at Next.

As a designer’s designer with 17+ years of experience, I’ve produced industry-leading work not only recognized by the AAF and Communication Arts, but also thrown into grocery carts, tattooed on bodies, collected by Deadheads, and etched into bowling balls.

I have a proven track record of making brands nervous by presenting unexpected industry-evolving work supported by a broad skillset ranging from high-end print and deep-dive digital to identity design, experiential, and packaging.
