Interests & Things

Minimalism

Less, but better. The practice of curating items, tools, and ideas that promote a joyful lifestyle — celebrating clarity and peace over the accumulation of more.

Digital Products

I believe the internet is a force multiplier for creative entrepreneurship — enabling a new reality for those willing to build something for themselves, and share it online.

Coffee

Ex-barista who's happily addicted to one of the tastiest beverages on earth. Ethiopian coffees from Onyx Coffee Lab are my go-to, brewed at-home via Chemex.

Templates

Pre-built designs that make it easy to get an amazing website. I currently build templates for Squarespace at Studio Mesa, and have a growing collection for Framer.

Music

Never a silent moment while I work. I find musical themes like rhythm, harmony, and pitch translate beautifully in design. Fave artists include Tycho, LÜNE, and Jumo.

Automation

Using tools like Zapier or Make to let robots do the work for you. Removing manual, repetitive actions to allow for maximum creativity in business.

Weathering the Florida heat

It's already that time of year again: Where walking outside feels like you're in a microwave, while breathing through a waterfall of humidity. Maybe this will finally be the year we move away from this near-uninhabitable state.
