In senior high school, I was that kid that seemed to never be focusing. Relatively in my very own world of doodles and also illustrations. I have actually had a pencil in my hand considering that I was in diapers. Points never change ... I'm no more in diapers though.
When I started college I initially had the idea of going into computer animation. After building my first internet site on GeoCities, as well as obtaining pleasure principle of appreciation from others, I was addicted. The internet was my outlet. A new means to show and also share my interests. Finished with Fine Arts at OSU as well as turned around to Multimedia Production Innovation at CSCC. I am so delighted that I made that choice. Collaborated on a project:
I do the job I do due to the fact that I like it. I like the market. I such as individuals I satisfy. I such as to chat shop. I embrace the geek. I like to make the web a better location. Hopefully we cross paths in the real world one day as well as we can make it a better location with each other.
I consider myself to be extremely privileged, because my 'task', such as it is, just entails doing what I like. I call myself a designer as it's a great umbrella term for the web design/ print layout/ picture/ branding job that I do, although I invest a great deal of time talking about design at many conferences around the globe and blogging about design for online as well as offline publications. I composed a publication with an extremely foolish title, however let's not stay excessive on that particular.

Much more recently, I'm the founder and co-editor of a new way of life magazine called Lagom and till completion of 2015, I stabilized that with my role as the Creative Supervisor of Adobe Typekit. Now I do it virtually permanent, along with some pick customer job. Prior to that I started 8 Faces, a bi-annual printed magazine dedicated to typographic layout. Periodically I mess around with the concept of being a musician, however by and large my focus is on design as well as all of its linked parts.

Great deals of wonderful individuals have actually been kind enough to interview me as well as display my work over the years, consisting of Creative Testimonial, Computer System Arts, The Independent,. Net, Style Week, as well as countless blogs, podcasts, and also online magazines.

Noteworthy previous customers include Microsoft, Virgin Group, MailChimp, EMI, Founders Fund, Campaign Screen, Brooklyn Beta, Smashing Magazine, Carsonified, WooThemes, and Blend Ads ... which is nice.
