Our cultural landscapes are ‘visual storyboards’ that inform and inspire.
Journal and camera in hand, I note what is then often found in the thread of my work. An early iPhone image—flared and grainy—informed the visual brand language for a Levi’s catalog. A palette for a start-up was found while wandering the beautifully muted and damp streets of London. That wide letterbox format combined with the broad views of field and sky, and the first organic farms in Northern California’s new brand was brought to life.
Design is the intentional arrangement of those visual narratives.
When not at my desk, I arrange flowers and dress tables. I find dusty gravel roads to follow, forage in fields and flea markets, linger in cafés and travel—Nevada, NYC, and lately Florence, preferred. Follow along!
