Hi.

I'm a 29 year old designer based in Baltimore Maryland. I am co-founder and creative director at LoveLife, aspiring to make a difference wherever possible. I tend to function off of Red Bull, it provides that get up and go, when I've already been up and went for the majority of the previous day. Over time I've built up a nice little skillset that helps make what I do possible, but I have so much more to learn. I have a strong respect for clean, functional design. I'm a minimalist at heart, there's something so elegant and mysteriously attractive about whitespace.

Anyway, I think I'm pretty good at this design thing. My mom thinks I'm REALLY good (thanks, mom!), and I enjoy every minute of it. Let's work together on something.

writing

Writing is something I actually love to do but don't do nearly enough of. I have so many ideas that just need to be recorded let alone fleshed out. I need to train myself to start note taking more often and putting them to use. Possibly an outlet to express my opinions, be it professional or outside-looking-in, is in order. A collection of ideas similar to this but more organized and less random. Seems fairly daunting with so much going on right now but there is ALWAYS time, you just need to make it available (first post?!). So is it blog time? I've been putting it off for far too long so stay tuned. Maybe my thoughts on running a business, my bickering on design woes, or my general banter on life, love and setbacks will hit a theatre… rather computer monitor near you soon. Who knows, it might just be interesting.

new beginning

Hours have gone by and I'm still hard at work cranking on this site. It's not quite complete but I think it's reached a happy place and I'm comfortable enough to distribute it. I must say I'm proud of the product that emerged from thinking—and re-over-re-thinking— that has gone into this. May not seem worth it but it's all part of what creates the whole. The process tends to be the fun part anyway. Now I continue to build, as an end road is in sight. Whatever "end road", ends up, being defined as. What's not up today may be up tomorrow. Here's to new beginnings.
