About

The throughline

I designed athletics environments with Jack Porter, ran my own design-build shop, Baxter House, and spent five years as senior art director at Rooster Teeth.

The throughline is spaces with a story, delivered by someone who also knows what they cost to build. I draw it, I price it, and often enough I am the one holding the paint gun at 2am the night before it opens.
