I left the San Francisco Bay Area for New York City in 2003 to study design, drawing, and printmaking at The Cooper Union School of Art. After graduating I worked for a year as a designer at NYTimes.com.
Now I'm working as a freelance designer in Brooklyn. Aside from a number of personal projects and contracted work, I'm currently working on an information dissemination experiment called The Shirt Project, funded by the Rhoda Lubalin Fellowship.

You can see a small series of my illustrations for a TIME end-of-year review of 2008’s top ten buzzwords. I think I should have used some more halftone.
My friend and fellow Cooper alum Caroline Woolard has just finished the designs for her beautiful Work Dress. You can see it on display right now at Providence Art Windows in Rhode Island. Caroline needed a small site to let visitors barter for the dress. How could I say no?
You can see (or maybe you already saw) my drawings on the most recent GOOD sheet, titled “Our Present Economy.” I illustrated the ASCII miniatures for Agnieszka Gasparska, of Kiss Me I’m Polish. Pick one up in your closest Starbucks… if they’re still there.
