I wake up in the morning with the intention to create, curate and collaborate.

"We all have a process — the greatest self-awareness of process is understanding the basic tools you need to do what you love."

These are my basic tools of the trade that I strap on my back everyday. I'm ready to start Thinking Up at the drop of an observation. I can stay up on current news with my rotating stash of magazines and iphone. Jot down a few ideas in my mini grided moleskine. Or if we need to really put out some ideas — i'll drop my big poppa sketchbook on the table. With my array of pens and a few prisma markers we can mark up a thumbnail concept to enrich a conversation. Then I can cut on the laptop to refine and really start Thinking Up. The process can vary but the tools have become very rooted in my daily life.

Sketchbooking is an obsession that took root in graduate school.
mark fenske and cabell harris introduced me to this addiction and i love them for it.

everyday i work on my game and thinking inside my sketchbook.
