The value of craftsmanship
In a world of AI, big data, mass media, mass marketing, and machine-mediated interaction at every turn, the human touch is more valuable—and more indispensable—than ever.
AI can manage your tasks, create a pitch deck in seconds, automate your workflow, and revolutionize entire industries.
But what it can’t provide (yet) is the nuanced understanding and expert touch of craftsmanship—the kind of skill that represents hours of hard work, the guidance of teachers, trial and failure and trial again. The synthesis of knowledge and insight, the understanding of where you are versus where you want to be.
The courage to try something new.
When it comes to the things that make life meaningful—your passion project, a beloved companion, a friend that makes you crack up laughing—don’t these deserve the honor of that skill?
Let’s make something beautiful together.
Your message means the world to you, and you deserve a collaborative partner who will treat it that way.
The best way I know how to tell a story is visually, and with words.
With nearly a decade of experience designing and creating for all sorts of people and projects, I bring the expertise and dedication to distill your message, apply centuries of artistic theory to it, and bring it to life, visually, and with words.

an artist and word nerd based in NYC. While I work in many different styles and media, I always use a detailed, deliberate approach, idealistic but rooted in tradition, incisively self-aware, and usually with words and writing at the center.
I strive to show life’s beauty and truth, even if it means coaxing it out patiently with a can of tuna.
