About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Create amazing design, art, and music. Meet as many interesting, fun, passionate people as possible.

ABOUT ME

I am an interactive product designer and engineer living in San Francisco, CA, USA. I grew up in the south, north of Atlanta, GA and moved to the west coast over 10 years ago. I love art, music, nature, and interesting human beings. I'm slightly addicted to coffee and I ride my bike as much as I possibly can.

PHILOSOPHY

Existence is a blank canvas and humanity has an incredible opportunity to push the boundaries of expression. I am not a religious person because I believe that there is much more out there than what humanity has been able to explain. I love life and I plan to do as much as I possibly can before I have to move on.

Music, Movies, and Books

Too many to list... pretty much any movie by the Coen brothers, any book by Haruki Murakami, and I'm a huge indie rock / electronic music fan.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Alaska.

I flew up to Anchorage one summer, boarded a small prop plane and flew out into the wilderness to go camping and king salmon fishing. To see an expanse of untouched nature on that level was a truly humbling and life-changing experience. I highly recommend it!

(ps: one negative was that the sun never sets in the summer... and it's extremely difficult to stay asleep in a tent!)

Teach, Learn, Share

Let's see...

I'm a designer, and I'm passionate about creating things that help people live happier, better lives. I would love to share my thoughts on this or even help someone learn how to be a designer. I also know a good bit about the programming behind websites/apps/etc. so I am willing to impart that knowledge as well.

I'm also very good at listening, and would love to offer my opinion and advice on anything that may be happening in someones life.
