About

Hello. I've recently graduated with a Masters of Architecture from the University of Pennsylvania. Prior to that, I worked at several different architectural practices after graduating from the School of Architecture at the University of Colorado in Boulder. In addition to architecture, I tackle freelance graphic and web design, music production and djing (dj Dirt Mcgierk); and am a partner at Section V Media design firm, and the web based business Resume Facelift. Please feel free to view a copy of my CV here: CV(html) or CV(pdf) for more info.

The pure and simple truth is rarely pure and never simple.

That is from Oscar Wilde but it speaks a lot to how I design. Complexity from simplicity and visa versa. Sometimes things that seem the most simple on the surface are actually the most complicated.  This close up high resolution image of an eye is fascinating and beautiful to me.

iheart

I put together an arrangement for Valentines Day, so happy Valentines Day!! I have been toying with it for about a week now and i could have kept going, but since it is Vday today I kinda had to wrap it up. I probably wont release another mixtape for a while now because work with Section V is getting crazy and I need to stay on top of it. I hope you like it!

Sundance Preview

So Im headed to Park City next week to dj a party at Sundance Film Festival. I decided to put some new(ish) music in a short mix to share with those of you who wont be there. My actual set will probably be nothing like this because I have no idea what it will be like there, but nonetheless here is the sundance mixtape.

A Comely Array – 2010

Here are some images that I really like.  Currently I am making music for sundance and am trying to finish up the site for Section V.  I am listening to l-vis and zomby while i work.

For the world to be interesting, you have to be manipulating it all the time

Thats a quote from multimedia artist Brian Eno, and that is exactly what the intentions of Section V Media are. Section V media is a digital design firm that I am launching with Daniel Whipple. Here are the business cards i just designed and ordered for the venture.
