Bio

With a storied background across design, advertising, (federal), and photo industries, I am uniquely skilled at bringing abstract ideas into tactile reality. 

My current focus is Station Ry—a paper goods design studio that I founded in 2023—producing stationery and other tactile tools for writers, designers, and creatives who think best on paper. 

What drives me is the desire to touch paper. To find a tangible point of connection. To seek wonder in our shared, ordinary, tactile existence.
