Everybody just calls me “French”
I am a multidisciplinary creative professional with over a decade of in-house and freelance creative experience. My specialties include a wide range of creative services, including (but not limited to) graphic design, branding, video editing, learning experience design, and creative strategy.
After switching schools a few times, I landed at Metropolitan State University of Denver, where I found a home in the Communication Design program and earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts in no time.
Nowadays, I live in Portland, Oregon, and spend my free time cooking with my wife, exploring our local parks with my daughter, and working as a Creative Director for the ASPCA.
My Guiding Principles
Be and look your best
—
Your “best” is different from day to day, but everyday you should do your best to be your best.
Be obsessed
—
Be excited about the things that interest you, and pursue those interests relentlessly.
Surprise and delight
—
Whenever possible you should seek to create special moments that bring joy to others in an unexpected way.
Make it right
—
Mistakes happen. Accept responsibility, learn from the experience, and fix any resulting problems.
Find happiness in helpfulness
—
Helping others is one of the best ways to bring happiness into your life. Always be happy to help.
We are in this together
—
We do not exist in a vacuum. Always consider how your actions and work will impact others.
