Making a mess of things.

Painting

My work leans heavily on a foundation of graphic design with threads of abstract expressionism and modern graffiti.

The resulting paintings are explorations of technique and materials. These prototypes can lead to new ways of thinking and creating, but just as often serve as a proof of concept to be archived for future consideration. I don’t often create expansive series.

Because of this I’ve often been hesitant to show or sell much of my work. It never quite feels fully realized or explored enough to present to the world, but I’m coming to realize that is the nature (and thrill) of incubation and prototyping.

Woodworking

I designed our backyard studio to oscillate between painting and wood working. I’ve since found woodworking to be a calming reprieve from the anxiety of painting as well as yielding plenty of furniture, gates and fences for our home.

Design

I work as a Principle Designer at Adobe. My current focus is exploring, prototyping and designing generative systems that both enrich and enhance human artistry.

I’m grateful to live in Seattle, WA with my wife and daughter.
