How did I get here?
Good question…
I can’t help it.
I like to make things:
music, books, art, movies, furniture, songs, podcasts, food, stained glass, sculptures, poetry, beer, jokes, instruments, drawings, labels, logos, discoveries…
By day, I manage the prepress department of a print shop, tackling the technical side of graphics: trapping, bleed, platemaking, workflow automation, variable data, customer press checks, color management, writing SOPs (takes a deep breath)... embossing, foil stamping, specialty varnishes—precision, details, and creative problem-solving all coming together.

But by night,
I’m a creative mofo
Book illustration, stop motion animation, songwriting, poetry, sculpture—I’m even writing a novel.
