I am a graphic designer and brand storyteller with over 25 years experience, and more than 15 years building, managing and art directing creative teams. I'm used to very fast-paced environments and am most comfortable finding that balance of supporting and directing my team while still rolling up my sleeves to crank out projects of my own. I consider myself a very collaborative, strategic partner with a strong business and marketing sense. I've worked in fashion and retail ecommerce for over 20 years, and am energized by the constant need for reinvention and relevance the industry demands.
Despite having spent recent years designing for digital mediums, print is in my blood. My degree is in printmaking and I began my career doing design and pre-press work in a small print shop. I have worked for several monthly magazines, produced catalogs, created billboards and published my own books. Letterpress printing, bookbinding and hands-on production work are true passions, and in 2008, my wife and I co-founded a custom letterpress shop, Kavamore Press.
I moved to the Bay Area over 20 years ago because I love the mix of diversity, creativity and innovation. My family has recently reconstructed and settled into our combination home & letterpress studio in Berkeley.
