ABOUT

I had a dream about you. We sold love like a couple of roadside lemonade-stand vendors. Your love was organic, and mine was made with yellow tennis balls. Jarod Kintz

With over 20 years of experience in corporate and retail design, including specialties in brand development and product development, my experience spans multiple business segments and extends from top American legacy brands and the success of developing regional brands. A wonderful journey of discovery.

I always hope it's going to be killer — designed well with exceptional collaboration from a bevy of talented individuals. But, it can never occur without smart ignition. To uncover, then polish the purpose, a diving board has been prepared for the greatest of creative discovery.
