01.

Bring your whole self

Defining the business goal and
strategic direction.

Embrace your own experiences and perspectives, staying curious about what others bring to the table, as collaborative projects are best when seamlessly woven. Pay attention to the entire craft, from creative direction to production cuts, because this comprehensive approach is vital for bringing work to life.

02.

Trust the process

Establish a process that allows for discovery, making even the most complex projects feasible by breaking them into manageable chunks. The foundation of exceptional work lies in creatively safe environments, fostering an atmosphere where it's alright to be wrong before reaching the right solution—for both yourself and others.

03.

Take the scenic route

Disconnect from the constant noise and allow yourself the space to stumble upon unexpected moments of clarity. Capture the insights that arise during these quiet moments and trust in the inherent productivity that rests within periods of calm.

About Me

Born and raised in West Virginia, my heart truly belongs outdoors. When I'm not at my computer, you can find me on a trail, booking tickets for the next local concert, or playing with my dogs.

Good design is about nailing details, keeping it real, and fostering a safe space for creativity. Trust yourself, break down projects, and take detours for unexpected "aha" moments — that's my philosophy.
