I am an illustrator, designer, and musician living outside Boston.
I try to make something every day, be it a drawing or a batch of cookies. Pursuing creativity is thrilling for me, and I try to express that exuberance in my work. If I'm drawing and laughing simultaneously, it's my hope that you'll laugh when you see the results. Art is the ultimate communicator, our best candidate for universal language. Art and math, anyway. And food. You can't forget food.
I grew up in suburban New York, was educated in Baltimore, and am now living just outside Boston. I love it up here, despite the incomprehensible roads and seemingly endless winters. I am engaged to a wonderful young lady named Melissa Chao. She's an extraordinarily gifted and hard-working bookbinder, and I highly recommend you check out her work.
I have a profound love of music, and have been singing and performing for longer than I can recall. I arranged my first piece during my senior year of high school, and continued to arrange and teach in college as the Musical Director of MICA's coed a cappella group for three years. From January of 2010 through May of 2011, I had the opportunity to sing eclectic a cappella with Common Sound, a group of enormously talented, Boston-based music geeks. Today, I continue to pursue and explore music independently.
I am a contributing blogger for Apartment Therapy Tech, where I write about the intersection between design culture and modern technology. This is a new and exciting gig for me, so I'd love for you to follow along! All my posts are gathered right here.
Lastly, and I believe this is of the utmost importance, my personal high score in Scrabble is 500.
