I make things, lots of things. I’m a tinkerer. Mostly taking things apart and putting them back together for something different. Like lamps out of skis, or clocks made out of bike gears (to name a couple). It’s how I look at the world and advertising, taking the things brands have, pulling them apart and putting them back together in a way no one else has.
