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
