I’ve been moonlighting as a graphic designer since art school, over 15 years now.  I started working as a professional chef before that when I was 16. Cooking, skiing, design and the prospect of opening a glass and neon tube studio brought me halfway out west to Park City, Utah.   There I accumulated over 750 ski days, made a bunch of great logos for ski & chef buddies, opened and operated a catering company, met a girl, catered my own wedding, we packed our bags and moved farther west to Portland.  Here in Oregon, I’ve continued to utilize my energy, creativity, ambition and sense of adventure; back in the kitchen, opening a ceramic arts gallery, freelancing and learning to build custom skis, all while accumulating year round ski days up on Mt. Hood.
