Bridging design between the physical and digital space
Digital Design
For over two decades I’ve been building and tinkering online. From the early days of Angelfire and GeoCities, to the massively creative era of Macromedia Flash and now deep in the WordPress landscape. This passion (maybe obsession) with the internet has allowed me to steer clear of the corporate rat race and work with some amazing businesses and brands over the years.
Physical Design
I’ve been passionate about building, fixing, designing and re-imagining physical products and spaces for as long as I can remember. This passion solidified in college as I worked on my Industrial Design degree at Appalachian State. These days, almost 20 years later, I continue to tinker on cars, motorcycles, my 100 year old home, and most recently with my Laser/CNC/3-D Printer.

Skoolie Adventure
I've been busy traveling and working so I thought it might be time to post a Skoolie adventure update. I've made a number of additions to the bus that I hope to create a series of posts around. The Solar panel from Flexopower is a nice add-on that came...
Skoolie Bathroom Tile Job
I've taken on hundreds of projects over the years but up until recently I've never done any tile work. I called my buddy Dave to give me a hand with this one. Dave is an all around great handyman and was more than willing to help me on this first tile job. The tile...
Butcher Block School Bus Countertops
Converting this 89 Chevy short bus into an RV has been an awesome project. One of the pieces of the project is to make some counter tops. I decided to duplicate the counter tops that I built for my kitchen. I've got an abundance of cabinet plywood end-cuts from my...
School Bus RV Rooftop Deck Construction
The square footage of the short bus is not very impressive. I think at one point I calculated the interior to be about 96 square feet so I decided to build a rooftop deck to have a slightly larger footprint. I did some googling before starting on this portion of the...
