My professional career began in 2003 at Community Concierge Magazine—where I served as the designer, illustrator, map maker, delivery guy, retoucher and so on—as I finished my degrees in Graphic Design and Art History at the University of Illinois Champaign-Urbana. In 2004 I returned to the Chicago area and began freelancing—working with publishers, marketing agencies, non-profits, design firms and in-house design teams. I’ve worked as a pre-press/production designer, graphic designer, art director and illustrator. Currently I am the Design Director at Steppenwolf Theatre Company.  I continue to freelance and play my homemade bass in the hell-raisin’ and soul shakin’ rock n’ roll band Curio.

I regularly update my blog, so for the latest work visit: woodenwater.blogspot.com
