A brief overview of my design education and career as told by the trail of trademarks left behind me.
(Click on the symbols for a brief chronicle of my experiences at each organization.)
I studied at The Ohio State University during a time when the design world was transitioning from t-squares and technical pens to computer-aided design.
Visual Re-Brand | When I entered college, the OSU mark was comprised of interconnecting duo-line lettering. By the time I graduated, the school’s trademark transformed from sporty track suit to gray flannel suit.
At Noel Mayo Associates, I worked on print and EGD (environmental graphic design) projects. I was allowed to experiment with a variety of software and hardware and became adept at using the computer as a production tool.
I worked at NBBJ as a member of the EGD team. I gained more insight regarding architerctural design and the building industry.
Visual Re-Brand | During my time at NBBJ the firm changed its identity to less formal, sans-serif letters. It was yellow for about a month, then tweaked to orange.
As part of the EGD team at Karlsberger, I developed interior and exterior architectural graphic design systems. Working under the same roof as architects, interior designers, landscape architects facilitated comprehensive solutions for our clients.
Visual Re-Brand | The Karlsberger trademark consisted of a letter “K” inside a box. As part of a visual re-brand, we changed the mark to a lighter, fresher letter “K” inside a box.
Re: Running
In 2007 I began using a gps-enabled watch to log my mileage. Since then, I’ve accumulated a little over 4,500 miles – enough to run from my home in Ohio to the Pacific coast and back.

Somewhere around mile eighteen of my first marathon I caught muscle cramps in my legs. After that point I had to step very gingerly, and was disheartened to be passed by a woman wearing a bathrobe and a guy shuffling along in flip-flops. I finished around 5:30:00. I never intended to run more than one marathon, but since the first one didn’t go well I had to try again. Right? So far, I’ve run in six marathons.

Below is how I finished compared to a few notable marathoners. (If I ever manage to whittle my time down to equal NBC news anchor Natalie Morales’s time I might be satisfied.)
