About

HOWDY

Thanks for visiting! I am a graphic designer and illustrator with a focus in typography.

I’m an award-winning designer, illustrator, and creative director with over 20 years of experience helping brands and organizations tell their stories through design. Over the years, I’ve worked on everything from Broadway productions and magazine covers to murals, packaging, and brand identity systems. No matter the medium, I’m driven by the same goal: creating work that’s thoughtful, memorable, and beautifully crafted. I love collaborating with talented people, solving creative challenges, and turning ambitious ideas into reality. And after all these years, I still get excited about a blank sketchbook and the possibilities that come with it.

When I’m not in the studio, you’ll usually find me playing drums, spending time outdoors, or hanging out with my family—all of which somehow find their way back into the work.

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