In my own words

Josh

I’m an extremely creative minded individual who has over 18 years of experience in the fields of marketing, graphic and apparel design.

I have over 5 years experience in recruiting, developing and leading design teams- from high school interns all the way up to industry professionals. My strongest quality, outside of my design ability, is my leadership. My industry experience and expertise is a tremendous asset to any company, because I know how to implement extremely efficient processes, plan strategically, and care for and develop people. Over the years this has been my formula for creating some of the most successful products year in and year out.
