I take pleasure in finding the connections between different fields of study. How can art history be used to make better product design? How can waveform collapse be used to create more interesting characters? I now make advertisements influenced by my knowledge of storytelling, web design that is informed by architecture, and am even working on a game with inspiration from logistical systems design. Get in touch to learn more about how I apply this philosophy.
