designer, art director, musician, marylander, salvadoran, working class anti-hero, straightedge, vegan, somewhat nihilistic, cripplingly anxious, frequently sardonic, occasionally funny, dreadfully long-winded…




since 2012, i’ve designed and directed everything from visual identities to websites to campaigns. these have been achieved independently and in collaboration with agencies large and small — on behalf of clients like apple, volkswagen, compass, nbc, and more.

none of my projects have been award-winning. only some of them got media attention. i’m still as wealthy and famous as i was in undergrad (which is not at all). i didn’t invent a new technology, nor would i call any of my work innovative or groundbreaking (still pretty cool though!)

instead, i solve problems. over the years, my contributions have improved businesses, informed and delighted audiences, and introduced just a bit more creativity into the mundane. i’ve worked with some of the sharpest, talented, and funniest folks in the world, and my work is stronger for it as a result. 

hit me up, we’ll make some great stuff together. thanks for stopping by.
