What did you do before 3rd Ward?
Designer at the aperture foundation

What drew you here?
There is a lot of diverse creative energy and always something draw inspiration from.

What are you most excited about here?
3rd Ward is a really dynamic place and i am excited to see what will happen next and where it will grow in the future.

What's been your biggest surprise since starting?
Initially I could not always discern the employees from members-it has been a nice surprise that everyone at 3rd Ward is engaged with each other.

What do you do for fun outside of work?
I like to make hand-bound books and I am starting my own small publishing imprint called No Issues Press.

You have a graphic design carte blanche. What do you do?

Once I had a design carte blanche and I made a documentary film [about Attica], with no prior experience, so who knows... I like to try new things.
