My newsletter: For my own peace of mind, I’m rarely on social media nowadays. This here newsletter is where I’ll share new projects, expound on topics that matter to me, and celebrate culture that I enjoy. It’s infrequent and free, so you’ve really got nothing to lose by signing up:

Let’s work together! I’m excited by the new, the experimental, the innovative, and the original.

Reach out to me HERE.
