With over 30 years in the design world, I’ve spent my career helping brands find their voice and bring it to life visually. Since launching Studio Absolute in 2009, I’ve worked closely with companies—especially those in the architecture, engineering, and construction space—to build brands that are not only beautiful but built on strategy and purpose.

My background spans brand identity design, strategic positioning, website design and development, and marketing collateral that connects the dots across every touchpoint. Photography is a big part of what I do as well—capturing architecture, lifestyle, food and drink, and travel in a way that feels honest, striking, and story-driven.

What really drives me is helping clients clarify who they are and express it with confidence—whether through a refreshed brand system, a thoughtfully designed website, or a set of images that truly represent their work and culture.

When I’m not in the studio, I’m usually at home on my small ranch in Tumalo, Oregon, where the pace is a little slower and the views are wide open. I spend a lot of time outside—on the water, specifically. I’m a seasoned fly fishing guide on the Deschutes River and spend as many days as I can floating, casting, and showing people the rhythm of the river. It’s a different kind of focus—but just like design, it’s about patience, timing, and knowing what to look for.
