Not your stereotypical artist

About me? Short answer… I draw and do creative stuff.

Longer answer…

I love to create, and to think about creating: the story, the process, the outcome.

I’m not looking for someone to throw a blank canvas at me and say “you’re the artist”, I want to understand your business, your audience, your desired outcome. My goal is to create art that works.

The whole left/right brain thing…

Sometimes I’m hyper-focused and sometimes I can be a goofball. I love Play-Doh and Excel spreadsheets. I have remodeled houses and built design systems. I may not be a Jack-of-all-trades (my name is “Doug”), but I do have a wide range of experience.

And, if you’re interested, “The Hobbit” by J.R.R. Tolkein is the story that truly sparked my interest in creating art, and I still love it!
