Hello!
Welcome, and thanks for coming by. I’m taking some time to put together a new portfolio of work. In the meantime, you can see what I’m up to by reading my blog (I call it “my favorite notebook”), and following my Tumblr posts.
If you’re here to see my design and illustration work, you can view my previous portfolio to see some of the projects I’ve worked on, and definitely email me if you have a cool project I can help out with!
If you’re here about a website project, please email me with the details of your project. My specialty is working with individuals, small businesses, and non-profits on small, simple projects.
Lastly, other random things I’ve made can be seen in this “work sampler” Flickr set.
