My desktop wallpaper is the same color as my office walls.

Individual words and thoughts are often easily misinterpreted— I therefore speak often in metaphors or try to tell stories.

I'm not afraid of anything other than how much my NYC rent is going to go up each year.

I've jumped out of a plane while hungover, of which I would not recommend the latter.

The most red lights I've ever run were in the back seat of a taxi at 4AM in Moscow.

I prefer to make people happy so they can make me happy.

I fight for what's important and necessary by making concessions.

My father taught me that saying sorry has no tangible purpose.

I'll kick your ass at any first person shooter.

Everyone is family, some in need of reconnecting with.

I've been an agency designer and creative for the bulk of my career with a focus on digital executions including websites, strategic design visions, products and campaigns.

Much of my knowledge was passed to me by incredibly inspirational designers and when possible I take whatever opportunities I can to mentor and pass that knowledge down to other creatives.

After 10 years, I decided to seek out more meaningful work and began working with clients directly. Shedding traditional agency constraints, I was pleased to discover my own clients pushing a range of new and interesting products coming to market that came with a whole new set of design challenges.

Not only do I want to continue solving unusual, complex design problems, but I hope to garner enough experience and opportunities empart my design philosophies onto the world design community.
