I was putting my BFA to use working as a graphic designer when someone told me I’d be a good art director. That’s how I did lots of work for Nestlé, Staples, BLACK+DECKER, the government, waters and wines you’ve heard of, liquors you probably haven’t, and friends. Some of it has won awards.

My annual reviews always say something like I’ve set a higher standard for the agency. Maybe like the time I got a logo tattoo and the client started selling temporary ones.
