While my work has most closely resembled that of designer, creative director, photographer, or carpenter, it has never been modeled on a career of any shrewd plan. I've always been pretty curious and head strong, and making things and solving interesting problems was all I really set out to do. I feel fortunate to have been able to do things that people and organizations have valued in some way. The vast majority of my work is lost in several opaque bins of hits and misses, but I'm gradually making progress getting some new (and old) stuff posted here.
