My Five-Point Plan for Doing Projects
Seven minutes of the only advice on creativity you'll ever need.
I have over two decades of graphic design experience across print and digital. My specialty is bringing humanity and personality to a project with voice, elegance, and intelligence. I like creating order out of confusion, clarity where there was none, and communication where once there was merely information. I believe in taking the long view while attending to the details. In any project, I strive to cut to the heart of the matter and uncover first principles.
Seven minutes of the only advice on creativity you'll ever need.
Original branding, signs, jokes, posters, and packaging for the area’s only crimefighting equipment source. Once-in-a-lifetime project.
Possibly my best single design piece, for a favorite client.
Self-authored pieces commissioned by the hometown paper.
Branding, signage, and packaging for Las Vegas’s best bookstore and only artificial bird adoption agency.
A sampling of primary documentation from a range of projects I’ve collaborated on. By no means comprehensive or detailed, I show these projects rather to initiate questions and conversation. For any given project, there’s much to say about problems raised and solved (or learned from), conceptual and logistical approaches, and contributions made.
For clients: New York Times • Sesame Workshop • RISD • Sephora • TOMS
A website for Jon Scieszka, beloved children’s book author and beloved client.
A poster connecting all the characters in the David Foster Wallace novel, personal project.
A website for the YA series about two pranksters, to which young pranksters could submit their own pranks.
Three volumes of fake trivia by the brilliant humorist and repository of swordcane lore.
By way of further biography, “Talking About the Past in the Present Tense” is a talk I gave at the SVA Products of Design program.
