I like to play in the intersection of words and commerce.

When I’m not building brands for clients, I experiment with my own.

Permanent140.com started as a joke turning digital tweets in physical plaques.
Until twitter sent me a cease and desist letter. But then they hired me for their corporate events.
The project went viral with posts on Swiss Miss, PSFK, the Side Hustle School podcast, and lots more. 
It was also honored by The Webby Awards.

I helped organize a conference for over 200 people from around the globe in 2016. The CreativeMornings Summit was three days of inspiring speakers and workshops — with an open-hearted community learning from and celebrating one another.

After the Kindle launched, I sold eBook Safes that hid them inside of real books. They were featured by The New York Times and Gizmodo.

Thanks to a successful Kickstarter, Passive Aggressive Notepads can solve your most annoying problems. 

I created a line of Valentine’s Day cards for people who don't like Valentine's Day. There’s still a box of them in my attic if you want one.

From 2007 to 2012, I wrote an advertising blog called Ask A Copywriter, where I shared what I liked about ads that I saw as I went about my day.

In 2005, I sold everything I owned on eBay. AllMyLifeForSale.net examined how identity is shaped by objects and brands. By telling the story of each item and selling it to the highest bidder, its true emotional and financial value was discovered. Pieces of my life were scattered from North Carolina to South Korea.

The project also attracted media attention from as far as Croatia and Israel.
