Things are not as they seem...

When I was a little boy I loved boxes. Brand new appliances in our house meant that I had a new fort or a spaceship for the next week. Shoe boxes became secret caves for my superhero figures. I like boxes. There is more of a challenge to think your way out. All you need to do is crawl in the box with some markers and a pair of scissors and pretty soon you have a new castle to defend from that dangerous cat that roams the house. Now that I am bigger my favorite box is the shower. I get my greatest inspiration in the shower. Think outside the box? Nah, I think inside the shower.

I was born a problem-solver, a modifier, and a story-teller. These talents allow me to analyze systems and reconfigure them fit my own needs or to make them more efficient. And that system could be a piece of software, the structure of a website, or the story a brand tells its market.

Humble Beginnings...

My mother was an illustrator for Hallmark and my father was a chemical/plastics engineer for DeLorean Motor Company. As their spawn I have successfully been able to bridge the gap between their left and right brain lives…and I’ve done this with the help of computers.

From my father I got the ability to learn things very quickly. It’s a matter of being able to see and understand the system of whatever puzzle I’m studying and then apply the necessary logic creatively.

From my mother I got an obsessive need to make sure all the paintings are hanging straight and an appreciation of color and design balance.
