I started 'Seize The DIY' to share my experience and passion for various trades, aesthetics, and innovation with the hope of inspiring others to seize the moment and create something intriguing.

I work as Sr. Creative Director, Innovation Dept / New Wine Brand Development. I'm AAU, S.F. alumni, with over 17 years of experience in graphic design, package design, point of purchase, and corporate identity.

I've lived an alt lifestyle– skateboarding, guitar in a metalcore band, etc, but I have a passion for all genres of music and an appreciation for fundamental ways of doing things... yet, the sentiment of challenging the status quo and thinking differently will always be a part of my work.

I love art, graphic design, interior design/restoration, industrial design, product design, product displays, guitar, vocals, clothing design, music/production, printing/pre-press, photo/video, automotive, creative process, legal, trademarks/patents... and many will be content here.
