Moi ...before Nike and Smalldeer™ there was Unburro; and in between a ton of
freelance gigs. Had, and continue to have the pleasure of working alongside  whom I believe to
be the best designers out there and to be a part of amazingly creative environments. This, not
only grounds me but makes me feel good about my career of choice, the long hours, and all the
nuances that come with it.
