Dearest Twitter, I am currently looking to take on new collaborations, projects, and contracts while entertaining new FT role👀 Should you be in need of good creative direction, good graphic & brand design, good art direction, and/or good illustration, don’t be shy, say hi!😘

A handful of years ago I was commissioned by @Nike to design the workmark and monogram their Metcon trainer shoe line. A couple million pairs later and it is still going strong…

Oh, hi @BrianLaRossa

@CorySchmitz Makes me smile

I love seeing paparazzi-inspired photography coming back around—timing makes sense given that it's so early 2000s, but it's funny to think about how different the implications of an intrusive "candid" are now that celebrity culture is filtered mostly through hyper curated selfies

@jonminori @jstrelioff @Goodside_Studio (Hey Minori!)

@johnjcuster @jstrelioff @Goodside_Studio I would also like to sit in on the sidelines :-) Willing to buy a ticket too

Any small brand studios with an equal emphasis on strategy, messaging, and design want to have an open convo where we both share our project approach/process? We're thinking through ways to improve our process @goodside_studio and would love to know how others do things!

@jessperate ?

Are there any brands throughout history that were successful *without* eventually relying on advertising? Trying disprove the theory that brands will ultimately need to advertise to be successful.

@mikesmith187 Paging @Rodrigo_Corral

Do I know anyone who is well versed in pricing photography for book covers? I have a friend that's up for a significant job and he's looking for ballpark figures.

@Mr_Turley That was my corner when I lived in Alphabet, during Sandy. Ave C and 7th. I will never forget this cover, Richard.

@HochDotCo I call it poetry at least

Any designers out there also write poetry? I know it’s super niche, but trying to play with a project that needs that niche.
