—About
Making other people's ambitions recognizable on sight.
2001 – Present
Agency 689, Partner + Creative Director
Founded the studio. Fifty-plus brand systems since, from a travel-guitar startup to a rock 'n' roll hotel. Still does the work himself.
1997 – 2001
DGWB, Interactive Creative Director
Landed in advertising right as it was discovering the internet existed. Spent four years figuring out what a website was supposed to do.
1993 – 1997
firstsource.com, Creative Director
Started here. Back when "creative director" didn't mean much of anything at a dot-com nobody remembers.
Along the way: a handful of ADDYs, a Netty Award, and a keynote at the Art Institute of Orange County, where he presumably told twenty-year-olds that AI would either end their career or make it — still isn't sure which. Lives in California. Writes poems on the side. Recently found out that counts as "other writing."
