Mission
I'm all about taking a product and making it shine. To turn a bland idea into something totally captivating and taking it to a new level of awesome. With over 20 years of experience, I've got a ton of know-how from which to draw. I've worked in the video game industry and the tabletop gaming world, I know what makes both tick. Plus, I'm all about diving into popular culture to see where people have been and are headed. Why do I do all this? Because I believe that making something "cool" isn't just luck – it's about doing the work and thinking things through. When I know what excites you, I can deliver that cool factor every time.
I make more than great art; I make great stories.
I want to create work that clicks with people, no matter where they're from. You know, the kind of art that sells itself! That means designing stuff that communicates visually without needing words or explanations. And hey, if a product is well-designed and easy to connect with, you better believe people will be lining up to get their hands on it! That's the goal: cohesive, timeless, and totally irresistible products.
