About

My childhood, like many in the 1970s, consisted of Froot Loops, Sesame Street, and Saturday morning cartoons. I lived with my single mom and worshipped my single, mustachioed father. I think my penchant for design started back then when I drew all my superheroes anatomically correct.

In college, I was in the second graduating class of the new Design program at UT Austin, and I couldn’t have been more passionate. We were taught the tenets of the Bauhaus and architecture. Our professors were leaders in their industries. They treated “design” as all-encompassing, regardless of the discipline.

The internet was in its infancy, and I immediately saw its potential to transform communication by reaching audiences previously unreachable. I learned how to code in HTML and started submitting my design projects in the format of websites, videos, and animations instead of the traditional print formats that still dominated at the time. Then I designed my first website for a paying client—and I was hooked.

Outside of design, my passions include playing guitar, drawing and sketching, my family, and my two dogs.
