HERE'S MY STORY



​As I said, I consider myself an artist, a geek, and a bit of an adventurer. Born and raised in Maine, I grew up loving the outdoors. I got my first taste of city life when I moved to Boston to attend the New England Institute of Art for a degree in Television Broadcasting. I worked as a post production artist and production assistant in film and TV for several years afterwards, which led to my inevitable move to Los Angeles. During that time, I also worked for Apple and my time there instilled the importance of vision and values in a brand. As Mike Markkula (Angel Investor for Apple) once said, "A great company must be able to impute its values from the first impression it makes." The ability to visually communicate these values is the essence of great design. ​
I've always had a passion for branding and design. I actually landed my first job with a small production company in Boston after redesigning the company logo and creating a studio ident as part of my interview process. 
​
I currently reside in Melbourne, Australia and am working towards a Bachelors of Communication in Advertising at RMIT University. As a wanderer at heart, I enjoy traveling - often without any plans. Which may help explain my self-portrait above, inspired by Caspar David Friedrich's classic romantic oil painting Wanderer Above the Sea of Fog.
