I'm a husband, father, and designer.

I'm a problem solver — design is fundamentally about solving problems. To make people's lives and the world around us better. In all my work I try to remember to always design for the other side of the screen.

I lead the design team at Envy Labs, a web shop based in Orlando, Florida where we make things like Code School. I also run Branding Matters, a small brand consultancy.

In addition to my ‘nine-to-five’ duties, I’m husband to my amazing wife Melanie, and father to three children. I serve as a small group leader in my church, and do some teaching, speaking, and writing from time to time. I also keep a few side projects going, like Brewwd, and sling a few shots around the Dribbble court. I’m an ex-swimmer, amateur cyclist, and a borderline crazy UNC Tarheel fan.

I'm turning my Three Pipe Problems talk into a book complete with over 20 custom illustrations from my friend Sean McCabe. Help me create it on Kickstarter!

 

Branding Matters

In addition to my responsibilities at Envy Labs, I run a small brand consultancy called Branding Matters. I help small businesses develop and deploy successful brand strategy. I've also written a book on branding for small businesses. You can read the book here.

The Interwebs

Colophon

This site is built on Virb and I'm loving it. After several years of Wordpress (which I still love), Virb gives the flexibility and ease of upkeep I'm looking for. Type is set in Adelle Web and Adriane served by Typekit. Design is a hacked and stylized version of Ryan Sims' awesome Witchita template. All Sherlock Holmes images are credited to the great Sydney Padget, of whom I have great respect.
