BUT ARE YOU A DESIGNER?
- In case you’re looking for something familar. Yes, I’m still an image maker too. But I’m not the guy you call for just anything.

- Every designer has a tick. There is no neutrality. Our quirks, fascinations, and backgrounds get baked into what we make without thought. I know what I like. Tennessee letterpress. Folk Art. Hand-painted all-caps on warehouse walls. Press type and stat cameras. 8-bit whatever. Atomic-era car typography. Coming of age at the so-called End of Print. The Minneapolis design scene of the late 80's. Dutch posters. 4AD record sleeves. Punk zines. These instilled in me a love of tool marks, technical grit, visible process and acceptable accidents. I think broken is better, imperfect is perfect.
