Hi there! Thanks so much for spending some time with me. I love all things in color but ironically I never wear anything outside of #000000. My journey actually started in creative writing and ultimately transformed to design once I met Professor Frank Debose at The School of the Art Institute of Chicago. He taught me to always trust myself and look beyond the variety of shapes, lines and color but at the heart of the matter…people. From my experience in the Marines, art school and daily living, I’ve come to have an obsession with understanding people, their needs and stories, being empathetic, finding beauty in complexities while creating simple, elegant yet breathtaking experiences that leaves you to ponder, wonder and enjoy the moments.
Aside from design, I’m a huge fan of cleaning and polishing leather boots. One day, I plan to open up a coffee/shoe polish shop called Perfect Brew & Polish.
I’m always available for side projects as Ray Kroc used to say,”I’d rather be green and growing, instead of ripe and ready to rot.”
