About:

I’m the Creative Director of Saunter, a studio I started after spending 7 years building and growing the creative department at Burrow. I began my career as a copywriter, and bring a writerly sense of all of my work, but at heart I’m a creative generalist: you’re as likely to find me writing as your are hand sketching, designing logos, dabbling with motion, or working in code.

I live in Brooklyn with my wife and our two cats. I have lots of opinions on restaurants, enjoy cooking, and seeing live music. I love cities, cycling, sailing, and Liverpool FC. I grew up in Marblehead, Massachusetts, which almost always comes up in conversation at some point or another.

If you’re in need of creative work in exchange for money, send me an email or visit the studio website.

If you’re in need of friendship, lame jokes, street safety commentary, and the occasional riff on sports or tech or business or food, find me on the internet.

Extracurriculars:

I’m currently reading Blue Mars by Kim Stanley Robinson. Follow me on Storygraph.

The last concert I saw was LCD Soundsystem in December. It’s been a slow start to the year on the live music front.

My next travel destination is Marblehead, MA in early September.
