About

HOWDY

Thanks for visiting! I am a graphic designer and illustrator with a focus in typography. My work is heavily influenced by a background in music, painting, and fun.

I worked in advertising for many years as a designer and art director at various studios and agencies around Dallas and NYC, then in 2011, I opened the doors of my own studio in Brooklyn. In 2018, my family and I moved to Dallas and I set up shop in the heart of the thriving arts scene in Oak Cliff where I spend my time working on design, branding, and typographic assignments. I am currently Creative Director at the Dallas design agency, *TraceElement.

I’d love to hear from you. GET IN TOUCH!
