Posted to Ask DN: Critique and ideas around my personal logo, Dec 04, 2015 I love the thought process behind your personal brand. The 1 and 0 metaphor is top notch. My mind is already racing with ideas about animation and color (especially when you put it in an interactive space like your web site). Great job!

Posted to For all the PS 2015 hate, remember there are alternatives, in reply to bradee evans , Jun 17, 2015 I wish I could, but this particular file is a sensitive one under NDA. I appreciate you trying to help though, maybe I'll give CC 2015 another go in a few months after the dust settles. :)
Posted to For all the PS 2015 hate, remember there are alternatives, in reply to bradee evans , Jun 16, 2015 For me, it was speed. I opened a file that I was working on yesterday and PS CC 2015 crawled. I mean, to the point where my computer started breaking down and fighting against me. Not a good scene.
I tend to be on the bleeding edge of adoption and I understand the buggy nature of new software. But if the software (new or not) can't react to the speed of my workflow, I've got to go back to what works.
Posted to For all the PS 2015 hate, remember there are alternatives, Jun 16, 2015 Or you could always switch back to previous versions using Creative Cloud (which I am currently doing): http://cl.ly/beb1
Posted to What are your thoughts on distributed teams? Can we expect to see more and more companies become more lenient on location policies?, Mar 10, 2015 45royale is a design-centric agency and our view is that you shouldn't let geography limit your ability to find the best talent. This article I wrote sums up our opinion on the benefits of being a distributed team.

I just launched ProTones, a 20 pack of unique alerts and tones for iPhone. It's a side project I've been working on as a way to get back in to audio equipment and recording.
