    Bio

    I studied Graphic Design at Pratt Institute in Brooklyn. I went on to design t-shirts for MTV, websites for Ford, apps for HBO, and financial tools for Fidelity before spending eight years at Automattic. I’m currently a Senior Staff Designer at Shopify.

    I live in a cozy red house outside of Boston with my wife, our daughter, a friendly cat, and an opinionated rabbit.
