Design, Marketing, and Consulting
These started for me during a stint as a music booking agent and promoter. I built a brand around organizing and hosting events, then created posters, websites, and social media followings for those branded events.
I phased out of that community, but the desire for design and marketing remained. So I built a website to showcase my work. Shortly thereafter, I was hired as an ad designer for a local newspaper, The Missoula Independent. Several of my ads were run as full and partial page ads in The Missoulian, and I hold the honor of having designed the very last of the Rockin’ Rudy’s Independent back covers, one as an unwitting collab with the beloved Missoula artist, Parker Beckley.
My higher education was in Global Humanities and Religions. Humanities (the study of the “Great Books”) and religions aim toward the core of who we are - what we ultimately desire and what drives us. They also include tremendously powerful and remarkably simple symbology. In design and marketing, desire and symbology are two of the most fundamental building blocks.
Education - and time in the dark and light corners - has equipped me to see culture more wholly, to analyze what speaks today, and to build powerful, simple symbols and structures and brands that tell stories.

Consulting & Support
As a true child of the millennium, I’ve been breaking computers since I could walk. I’ve learned just about every trick in the book for fixing them, including a hardened patience for long hold times with manufacturers and reps.
I’ve also spent significant time learning code languages, developing websites, and studying marketing and branding through research and reading.
Now, you can learn from my 20+ years as a native speaker of all things internet. I offer flexible monthly rates for consulting and tech support - from email help and marketing support, to launching your new brand online.
