Besides the smell of Folger’s in your cup, Design is the best part of waking up.
Ok so maybe that was a bad analogy, but really, I have been engulfed in world of design since before I even knew what it was. I started out designing logo’s and t-shirts for my band, then I moved on to customizing our own website. I wasn’t trying to design anything really, I was just trying to make something that looked “cool” and was evocative our band and our sound.
As years went by I started to move towards film. I created some “masterpieces” with my friends such as “8th Graders in Vietnam.” (I’m still waiting for it to go viral.) I went to college thinking I was going to become a big time director. However, it all changed when I took my first Typography class. At first I grumbled “Great! A class about fonts…I know Times New Roman because it’s the default MS Word font.” But much like it did for the great Steve Jobs, that Typography class opened my eyes to the world of design. More than anything I realized that I had been “designing” for years. I picked up User Experience Design as a second major and put my director dreams aside for my new found love of Photography. Along the way I met a ton of great professors and peers that would push me beyond anything that I thought I was capable of.
Although I have only begun to dip my feet in web and interactive design, I am eager to push the limits. It is my goal to move beyond simply just making something look pretty, but rather craft meticulously thought out user experiences. Ultimately my goal is to foster human engagement both externally and internally.
Long story short… I’m here, looking for cool, open-minded, and exciting people to work with. Haven’t convinced you yet? Check out some of my work.
