Why design?

I almost missed the boat. I was always interested in art as a hobby, and was always eager to create the art for club t-shirts, event flyers, and whatever else my friends and family needed. It wasn’t until my junior or senior year of high school that I found out that there was something called “graphic design” and that my hobby could be a career.

My collections

I collect vintage glass soda bottles. They’re an eye-catching artifact of visual design, a great link to Pittsburgh’s glass producing history, and they offer a small glimpse into what a pre-monopolized economy looked like.
