Design Work

Here’s a sampling of the design work I’ve done.  These example projects represent  my own taste, experience and design labor but each was undertaken in collaboration with my great colleagues at Moss Design and Whole Trees architecture and owes much to their contributions as well!

Writing on Design

I wrote and illustrated the blog for Moss Design during my tenure there and had the fun of curating and creating content twice weekly on topics related to Moss ranging from recent project work to Chicago urban history, to sustainability theory.

Here are a few of my personal favorite posts for the Moss blog:
