It all started for me for real when i got hooked on Cyberpunk in the mid 90s. When we replaced our Ataris with pc's i got into the BBS along with the party driven demo scene. Spent most of school doing pixel graphics and music spun up on the hype around Spray & Razorfish.

So fresh out of graduation i jumped on my first job as a designer in the spring of 2000. Saw the boom and the crash. Kicked around a bunch of studios mixed with freelance comissions for some years. Spent some time working Cafe's during the slow years. Got bored with that and started my own company in 2006 to capitalize on the upturn. Applied to Hyper Island to study in digital media program. I guess i wanted to tap in to whatever art school vibe i felt i missed out on spending years doing corporate design.

After the year in school i got an internship at Your Majesty in New York, and when they offered to get me on full time i stuck around. Still in gunning my bike over the williamsburg bridge every day designing motion and interactive for my people at majesty!
