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.

Water Carries Things to Shore and Brings Them Out to Sea (2016) consisted of 48 15-second videos of the surface of New York City’s East River that loop seamlessly. Each video corresponded to a one-ounce bottle of water that was collected from the river. Each bottle had a small booklet with a link to a website (watercarriesthingstoshore.com) and a password that unlocked its corresponding video. The website was complemented by a publication that served as an index to the project.
