I shape thoughtful creative from the inside<>out.

I craft thoughtful creative outputs with people, brands, and organizations that are purpose-driven and unafraid to be bold. I specialize in the foundation (0–1) and evolution (1–2) stages of creative development.

I am relentlessly passionate, meticulous, and thoughtful about everything from big picture down to the “small” details. My approach is highly conceptual, human-centric, and meant to make you feel something. I have low tolerance for fake values, hollow buzzwords, and closed-mindedness (also, dairy). I like things listed in threes. I’m not for everybody, more of an acquired taste.

Trade for Services

Asheville + WNC

For local individuals and small businesses in Asheville and the surrounding area, I offer select creative and design services through thoughtful trade instead of traditional cash payment.

This can look like an exchange of my creative services for goods or services of similar value — a collaborative, mutually supportive way of working.

If you’re local and interested in exploring a trade, I’d love to explore what a meaningful exchange could look like. Thanks for helping keep Asheville’s alternative economy creative, connected, and communal.
