Member
Rebar
(Design industry)
2008 — Present (1 year)
REBAR is an art and design collective based in San Francisco. Rebar’s work ranges broadly in scale, scope and context, and therefore belies discrete categorization. It is, at minimum, situated in the domains of environmental installation, urbanism and absurdity.

Lead Designer
Spindle Desco
(Graphic Design industry)
2005 — Present (4 years)
Spindle Design Company (Desco) is a multi-faceted design company offering expert services in graphic design, UI, experience and retail design, fashion design, illustration and photography.
Spindle Desco evolved from a grassroots collective of artists, designers and event planners, and while it retains the resources, vision and collaborative spirit of its collective days, the company is now run as a sole proprietorship, with support from collaborators and experts from adjacent fields.
The result is a big-picture perspective and the ability to use design to address all areas of a project or business, providing precision problem-solving backed by confidence and efficiency. -
