I’m an art director and designer located in Minneapolis, Minnesota.

I received a degree in design, but my greatest insights and instruction have come from personal experimentation. Discovery made through my curiosity in process and systems have helped shaped my always-evolving style.

Since beginning my career, I’ve had the opportunity to design, art direct and play creative lead, and collaborate on brand building and award-winning campaigns.

And I’d like to do it with you, too.

Harken: Good Character Knows The Way
 
Harken needed to break out in the super stodgy premium chardonnay market. They didn’t want to seem old, despite having a tricycle logo and the name Harken.
 
We leaned into the simple insight that some people just know how to get more out of life.
 
We re-positioned the tricycle to represent life’s playful journey, and coupled it with whimsical,hand-drawn illustrations that bring the character of the wine and its drinkers to life.
