A grid focused designer with passions for typography, photography, & traditional printing methods.

A little bit about me.

I love to collect typography based posters whenever and however I can, from estate sales to FlatStock - a huge poster event that’s held in a city just up I-35 in Austin Tx. My goal is to have my office covered in different “types” of posters. I’ve got a few on display below. Typography has always run deep and I have even gone through the effort to collect a working 1913 Charles & Price Letterpress Machine, which I love. Traditional letterpress is a super intensive, tedious process to get a complete print. Setting up for a letterpress print involves hand-setting type, manually add the lead spacing between the lines of text, and quoining your phrase within the steel chase frame. Fun Fact of the Day | `To Quoin a Phrase` - comes from this letterpress process.

I’ve got a few pieces shown here that have been produced using my beautiful machine.

At the start of 2020 I began working for a new company headquartered out of my hometown of San Antonio, Earth Class Mail www.earthclassmail.com, as a Marketing Manager/Graphic Designer. I perform much of the same roles and responsibilities as I did at my previous employer, where I work with a team in the Marketing Department managing the company website, we create and execute content strategies across multiple media channels based on data.

In January of 2020, I departed my position as Senior Marketing Manager at Pageflex Inc - were I designed, published, and reported on the Pageflex website, www.pageflex.com, and steadily increased new contacts and traffic by 7% over 2019. I worked on cultivating current and potential clients by organizing and promoting a social media strategy, managed email marketing campaigns, and supported marketing and sales teams in both print and digital formats.
