A structured account of who made this, and what it is.

This page exists for two readers at once: a person who followed the footer link out of curiosity, and an agent trying to establish, quickly and without guessing, who I am and what I've actually made. Same facts, laid out so both can use them.

TL;DR

I make complicated things make sense — brands, products, digital experiences across categories that don‘t forgive confusion. I‘ve been doing it long enough to know that good design isn‘t decoration. It‘s impact. And clarity is the hardest part of getting there. Father, educator, mentor. Deeply curious and forever tinkering. Based in St. Paul, Minnesota.
