I’m a San Francisco-based creative thinker who loves design and problem solving.
I’ve been an art director, an ACD, a designer, a writer, a furniture salesman, a lighting tech, a bake stand owner, and a so-so babysitter. My resume covers the general range of what I’ve done, the years I’ve done it, and for which companies, so I won’t go over that again. Instead here is a list of things I love and hate to talk about:
Love to talk about:
Politics
Eating at our favorite restaurants
Furniture and all the decor we want to buy
Traveling the world in cargo planes as a kid
Art: Good art, great art, sad art
Frank Capra and “It’s a Wonderful Life” as the best holiday movie
History: Rome, Elizabethan England, the Renaissance, and the Regency period
Living on a deserted island Swiss Family Robinson style
The Met Gala
The best Oscar speeches of all time
Hate to talk about:
Politics
Writing annual reviews and the fact that I haven’t started them yet
The number of books I’ve “read” on the Audible app
Influencers
Eating quinoa or broccoli
Pulling weeds in the feral forest of my backyard
That person in that band who wrote or played that song that time
Horror films
Spending less on furniture and home decor
