I was born and raised in Oregon, living in the suburbs and developing nicely
as a loud nerd who drew dragons. Apparently this set me on the path to
get a degree in graphic design and a job in advertising. I joined Wieden+Kennedy Portland in the spring of 2008 and began my double
life of designing ads by day and painting by night.
In 2010, I moved abroad to work at Wieden+Kennedy Amsterdam
where I currently live and work as an art director.
All the while, I've had two solo painting shows, participated in dear friend's group shows, took part in multiple book projects and started a ridiculous noise band. I'm incredibly lucky to work with the people I do in such a wide variety of creative sectors. It's all exhausting and invigorating at the same time, how lovely.
My work is currently represented by Nationale in Portland, Oregon.
Drop me a line.
