Happy Thanksgiving

I designed this turkey for my son Ryker. Illustrated with Adobe Illustrator and edited in Snapseed.

Some photos from my family's Thanksgiving.

Ryker turns 1 in a week!

I had a great time with my family last weekend. While my wife planned my son's first birthday party I got to play with him all weekend.

My wife got this Candy Land rug for a quarter at a garage sale!

Happy 4th of July

I had a good 4 day weekend and watched fireworks with the family. My son Ryker loved his first fireworks!

Creative Campaign

Starting tomorrow I will be moving desks. I got promoted from Digital Media Designer to Creative Campaign Artist. I will still be doing digital ads but at a greater scale with more creativity.

I will miss my desk buddy Derek. We have been good friends since high school and we have been working together for about 3 years and we finally got to sit next to each other when Gannett moved from the old Des Moines Register building to Capitol Square a year ago. We are still working on our book on weekends though.

I am excited to start my new position. I feel I will have some strong portfolio pieces coming soon!

Ryker's First Easter

This Easter we had lunch with Alyssa's family and bought stuff to start our garden on Saturday and today my mom brought Jethro's BBQ over for lunch and we built our garden and planted carrots, watermelon, bell peppers, jalapeños and cilantro. Ryker had 2 easter egg hunts too!
