I am a designer, educator, and publisher living in Austin, Texas. I am a co-founder of Track and Field Publications where I use publications and experimental print to explore how motion, typography, and design systems translate across media. At Texas State University, I work as an Associate Professor of Communication Design and Coordinator of the BFA program.

I have presented and exhibited my work internationally at venues that include Columbia University, MICA, Boston University, Haus der Kulturen der Welt, American University of Sharjah, Pioneer Works, and Knockdown Center. My writing has appeared in publications from Focal Press and MIT Press. Since starting in 2006 as an Art Director at the Chicago Tribune, I have worked as a designer with Whitehouse & Company, Trollbäck+Company, and C&G Partners on projects for Union Station (Washington, DC), Prudential Financial, JPMorgan Chase, Game Show Network, Fuse, and the Nonprofit Finance Fund. 

Previously, I taught at SUNY New Paltz, served as Critic in Illustration at RISD, and taught at Parsons. I hold an MFA from RISD, a BFA from SAIC, and a BA from the University of Chicago.

In this 700+ page publication, linear and non linear ways of looking at time by translating an animation of a rotating object across the spread. The recto pages display each frame of a 360-degree counterclockwise rotation (along the y-axis) of a cube, in which every distinct pair of vertices is connected by a single, unique edge. On the verso pages, the same rotation is shown, but the frames are presented out of sequence. On the right-hand pages, the viewer experiences a smooth, orderly progression through the rotation. On the left, the rotation unfolds in fits and starts, with each frame disconnected from the one before and after it. Each spread presents the cube as simultaneously “in” and “out” of time; rotation continuous and disrupted.
