Here’s what I think is worth knowing about me.
Right now
Most recently, I’ve been spending my time running my full-service design and development studio No Replica. I’m also an adjunct professor at Rhode Island School of Design, and I release all my educational materials for free through my teaching platform GD with GD. I support my professional work by running an experimental type foundry, Too Much Type, and a research and development lab, Barco Loudly.
During school
I graduated from RISD’s MFA in graphic design in 2024, and received my BA in computer science and theater from Wesleyan University in 2019. My graduate thesis, This Is For You, is a work-in-progress handbook and memoir about my career in design. I believe in open-source ideology, and am writing this book as an attempt to create an open-source resource that summarizes what a career in design can look like with the goal of helping those on a similar path to mine.
Early career
During college and shortly thereafter, I worked in the theater industry as an administrator and graphic designer. I worked in-house at The 24 Hour Plays, Dramatists Guild, and Williamstown Theatre Festival before starting my freelance practice and eventually my studio. While in college, I was the web designer, developer, ticketing manager, and sound technician for Second Stage, a student theater company producing around twelve productions every semester at Wesleyan. During this time, I co-produced nearly one hundred musicals and plays, including several I sound designed and composed music for. You can listen to many of these scores and my other albums at Jukebox.
This site
This site dates back to 2015. I refuse to throw any of my old work away to a fault, and I do my best to keep this site updated with as much old work as I can. Nowadays, you’ll mostly find me updating the sites I mentioned earlier.
Things I love
I have two cats, Moonbug and Minnow, whom I love dearly, as well as my best friend Maddie who’s not a cat but is my wife. I play a lot of video games, particularly indie puzzlers that are usually too hard. For starters, I recommend Fez, Baba Is You, Stephen’s Sausage Roll, The Witness, Return of the Obra Dinn, and Outer Wilds. I once thought I would become a filmmaker and used to watch films religiously. The saddest film I’ve seen is Amour, so I refuse to watch it a second time. My taste in music changes every few years, but I’ve always been a huge fan of Fiona Apple and Jacob Mann. I grew up on Flash animations and games, and I’ll always love the Internet despite all its flaws.
