This Is Me

Mini Bio

I'm an artist in Chicago and on the interwebs. Just about everything I create is digital, since I'm a computer nerd.

Simplicity, thoroughness, and order make me happy. I use a Mac.

I make things as a Principal Artist at WMS. I also teach two courses at Columbia College.

I'm pretty good at a wide variety of things; I've got skills, as it were.

Wanna hire me? I do freelance. Logos, sites, and commissions are cool. Feel free to contact me.

Or you can download my vcard.

His talents can take a company or project to the next level."
