Duration: Freelancing full-time for two years.

Staff: Me and Lewis, a cat. I’m also represented by The Loud Cloud.

Education: A BFA in communication design from Pratt Institute.

Cultural Influences: Things from all over. New things, old things. Funny things and smart things. Things that look good and things that communicate clearly.

Environment: Lots of people are wary about Seattle's climate but I've found it pretty agreeable when it comes to sitting inside and drawing all day. I work in a home office on a tree-lined block, a short walk from a large lake.

Philosophy:Hard work beats talent when talent isn’t working hard.
