About Me
Good design removes
the distance between an
idea and the person it's meant for.
(THE APPROACH)
Design is where what a brand believes, what people feel, and what I can make real start to align.
I learned to hold those three together in rooms that remove pretense: live broadcasts with no second take, enterprise pursuits where credible isn't enough, events where one broken moment is seen by everyone at once. Pressure like that leaves a simple order behind. Think first. Build close behind. Earn enough trust that strong work happens more than once.

JT brought a level of strategic clarity to our rebrand that we didn't expect from a designer. He didn't just make things look better. He helped us understand what we were actually trying to say, and then he made sure every visual decision reinforced that. Our brand recognition went up 20 percent in the first quarter, and that's because the thinking was sound underneath it all.

Managing a live event is chaos. JT made it feel structured. He consulted on everything from stage graphics to wayfinding to digital signage, and because he'd thought through the system beforehand, decisions moved fast. We added 26% more attendees to our largest event, and his creative direction was part of that.

I've worked with a lot of designers. Most deliver assets. JT delivered strategy that became assets. He didn't just design a system. He helped us understand why we needed one, what it should solve, and how to maintain it as we grow. That's the difference between a vendor and a partner.

I worked under JT as a contract designer at Flexential for two years, and his leadership made a lasting impression. He brought clarity, creativity, and strong art direction to brand development, motion graphics, 3D work, and the FlexAnywhere™ launch. Just as importantly, he created a collaborative environment where designers could do strong work and grow.

- “
JT led our design overhaul during a restructuring period when we'd lost people and momentum. He didn't just rebuild the team. He rebuilt how we work. The intake system he designed cut our project turnaround in half, and the team actually wants to come to work now. That's leadership, not just design.

Senior Vice President, Marketing
- “
I have worked with JT on two different teams and his creativity is amazing. He takes an idea and makes it into something even better than you could have imagined - whether it's design, video or motion graphics. We put together a Livestream of a data center groundbreaking with little equipment and resources that looked amazing and attracted more than 1000 leads. He's a joy.
