Say Cheese

The Chapters of Your Life
This started as a brief presentation about intent and photography that my good friend Erik turned into a short film as a birthday surprise during the pandemic.
Creative Mornings Talk
This video from 2013 is long, but lays out who I am and why I think design is awesome. I was nervous as heck through the whole thing.
A few favorite things
Books, movies, video games, music and random other things all mixed together in a visual, sortable grid.
Great Discontent Interview
An old conversation that fills in the blanks of my career and whatnot in an interview format. My tip of the hat to Ryan and Tina for the moment.

My old website

The Trixie Motel
When I visit Palm Springs again I very much would like to stay here at least once. A collab between Trixie Mattel, their partner and The Property Brothers, a series about the renovation of the motel was captured with a tv show. (Adding to the queue.)
An interview with Mary Ruefle
Austin Kleon's interview with the author is unique, "Ruefle doesn’t do Zoom interviews or use a computer, so we conducted this interview via our typewriters." It's an excellent format of thoughts.
Minx, the (not real) magazine
One of the best parts of the series Minx was the vibes — costumes, hairdos and sets were groovy — but it was when they dove into the development and design of the namesake magazine with mockups on the wall that I took notice. Turns out Pentagram was behind those spreads. Dig seeing more details. / via Michael Bierut
We’re here newsletter
A video why the vlogbrothers are relaunching their Nerdfighteria email newsletter. Because the internet is awesome, but also needs to change, yet man it's hard to beat algos, though humans have good qualities. It's called "We're Here" and you can subscribe right here.
Creative Mornings Cincinnati Birthday Party
On March 29, 2024 our local chapter is celebrating 11 years of bringing folks together. The theme? REFLECTION! I'm coming back on Friday to join in on the festivities.

Once you swat away all the Fast Company pop-ups and wang-dangles, there's a lovely little video with Susan Kare going over the original Macintosh.
