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, hospitality, and travel in a way that feels honest, striking, and story-driven.

What really drives me is helping clients define and articulate the essence of their business—clarifying not only who they are, but also how their brand connects to the work they do. I strive to give them the tools and visuals to express that identity with confidence, whether through a revitalized brand system, a strategically designed website, or imagery that authentically captures their business 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.
