I've always liked to design things. When I was young, I taught myself to custom paint, airbrushing artwork on anything I could find, eventually advancing to paid work. By the time I was 11—maybe 12, I was painting motorcycles, cars, and radio-controlled airplanes for hire. I was entering national competitions and consistently winning best-of-show trophies. I landed my first job as a custom painter in a van and street rod shop at age 14. I fudged on my age so I could get the job. Being too young to drive, my mom dropped me off at the shop after school. This was during the George Barris, World of Wheels, custom van days. I did it all—flames, lace painting, freak drops, pinstriping, and more unicorn murals than one could imagine. This was the start of my design career, creating rolling public art. Today, I am still a visual communicator, earning my keep solving complex marketing challenges. I am a creative thinker and graphic designer with a track record of creating positive outcomes from the most challenging market circumstances.

“No way. How about an undersea world? Bet you’d never do that.”

“Oh, I will for sure. And how about some toadstools?”

“Toadstools? Are you kidding me? Well, if you’re gonna do that, you might as well throw in a unicorn…”
