The journey matters most, not the destination.
My favorite quote holds true in everyday life as well as in design. It’s how you live your life, its the process you go through to get that big idea, its the day-to-day details that matter the most.
Design is ingrained in every part of my life; it’s who I am and what I do. I love being around like-minded creatives, inspiring others and pushing beyond the obvious. I’m obsessed with design thinking, never leave home without my sketchbook and I’ve been told I ask a lot of questions.
When I’m not glued to my Mac, I can be found at Panera with a caramel latte and design magazine in hand, running a race, surfing a local break or out enjoying the day with other half Nick and our four-legged kid, Cody.

A special thanks to Chad Jarae, killer lifestyle photographer, brand guru and creative junkie. I would not be where I am today without him. You can check his work out at http://www.chadjarae.com. The background images for this site were captured by him.
