Graphic Design & Illustration

I didn’t grow up around a lot of art, but my whole life I’ve always been a talker and a problem solver. I was the kid who got banished to the back of the classroom for talking too much, or sent my mother into a panic when I would wander off to chat with a stranger. I’m the guy who stays in a relationship past its prime or takes forever during his turn on a board game because “There has got to be a better way!” These characteristics that I thought were flaws and burdens are actually very helpful in the graphic design field. I’m not your typical shy artist, I’m a talker and a problem solver. Lets have a conversation and figure out how we can bring out the best in each other!

Delivering Joy

It’s more than a box, getting a package is pure joy! There’s no better feeling than getting a package delivered to the house. It’s like Christmas, but better, because you don’t have to drive to see your family and it happens year round. UPS drivers deliver more than just boxes, they deliver joy. And this UPS employee appreciation booklet was created with that mindset.
