Traveling — Space and Time
“The future is wide open.”
Detroit grit, sharpened by CalArts discipline, and stretched across continents by the work that asked me to build what didn’t exist yet.
My career has range. I’ve designed shoes with the Nike Footwear team, accidentally landed a job with David Kennedy because I hung an art show in the Portland office. Went Back to the Future and helped raise 9 million dollars for Parkinson’s. I got into Yale and Cranbrook but chose a different kind of education: crossing the Atlantic and living the creative nomad life through Berlin, Amsterdam, Stockholm, Manchester and now London.
My world has always been 360 and so is my work. As the industry shifts from massive campaigns to social-accelerated storytelling, we’re all rethinking how we create connection. Affinity driven by innovation. Distinction over volume. Becoming the reference point in a sea of sameness.
Across these 17 years, my work has evolved with every tool, every brand and every team I’ve had the privilege to lead. Each chapter has added a new skillset, a new perspective and a renewed drive to change the game again and again.
Build Worlds.
Open the space, turn up the energy, and watch people outdo themselves.
- Who’s number 1? (You!)
-
Emotions are data, not detours.
-
Permission Slip = Desire, weirdness, edges and all.
-
Don’t add to the noise.
- Innovation vs Imitation.
-
Be the reference point.
- (secret) Have fun.
