I HATE PORTFOLIOS.

I'd love to tell you this site is down for maintenance. It's not.

I'm tired of guessing what complete strangers want to see. Tired of condensing years of work into a handful of carefully curated case studies.

Whatever happened to having a conversation? Shaking hands? A three-martini lunch? Getting the job because you know your shit and you're a good hang?

Anyone can make anything now. The tools are everywhere, which means the tools aren't the point. Taste is. Ideas are. The person is. And none of that fits in a thumbnail.

Here's the thing.

I can do a shit ton of stuff.

I started as a production designer in a print shop and worked my way up to leading the creative team at a global technology company, where every piece of the brand runs through me.

I've also signed a record deal, toured the country, played major festivals, and racked up more than 40 million streams. That's not counting record sales.

I've scored films. Shot and edited my own stuff.

I've been the guy coming up with the idea, the guy directing the people making it, and the guy at a computer at 2 a.m. figuring out how to make the damn thing himself.

Sometimes all three.

I'm not the best in the world at everything. I know how to make things happen.

What I apparently haven't figured out is how to communicate that through a few thumbnails to people I've never met.

I'd rather have a conversation.

But since we're both here...

Here's some work I think is cool.

If you like it, we should probably talk.
