a little

about me

Howdy, I’m Adam. I am an art director and designer living in sunny, sometimes too sunny, Phoenix Arizona. I would like to say that “design is my passion” but that sounds super corny and I can only allow myself to be so many cliches (take a wild guess on whether I ride a fixed gear bike or not.)  Despite the mustache, beanie, and trendy brand colors, I promise I am not a poser. Since graduating in 2015, I have held jobs at small branding agencies, web design firms, in-house teams, and technology companies, as well as taking on various freelance work. I like to consider myself a jack-of-all-trades and master of few. Maybe it’s my personality or maybe it’s my crippling insecurity about not being good enough.  Either way, I am always on a quest to up my craft and learn new design disciplines. When I am not designing, you can catch me baking, playing with my dog (Rooney), or looking for the next best TV series to binge.
