Over the holidays, I launched a website for my photos. I finally made the decision to do away with Flickr. The service has long been obsolete for me for a number of reasons, but the most important was presentation.
This new blog utilizes the Hi Res Theme created by the incredibly talented duo, Justin Ouellette and Noah Kalina. There is no question that the presentation of my photos in this theme is way better than what any photo website has ever had to offer. Combine that with Tumblr, and you have what I believe to be the best solution for sharing the photos you care about.

Attention Designers! GroupMe is Hiring!
We are a small, passionate team of dedicated people working on a product that we love. We spend our days in a sunlight-filled loft near Union Square in Manhattan. At night, we sing karaoke sometimes. Basically, we love our jobs, and we have a lot of fun doing them.
We are looking for someone with ambition, confidence, bold opinions, and talent, whose primary responsibilities will involve collaborating with our designers and engineers in order to flesh out product ideas from early wireframes and sketches to pixel-perfect final designs.
In addition, responsibilities will include supporting other departments in all design functions: presentations, spreadsheets, marketing materials, whatever. You should feel comfortable working on multiple projects simultaneously under tight deadlines in a fast-paced environment.
Applicants should have an online portfolio that includes work that is beautiful and usable, demonstrating a love for tight detailing and impeccable typography. Ideally, it should show off your work in a range of platforms (web, mobile, tablets, print) and applications (sites, apps, branding, marketing). Any coding experience would be a major plus, as well as any motion graphics, video editing, or illustration skills.
We can’t wait to see what you have to show us!

Iconography & Simple Shapes
Sometimes my job calls for creating very simple icons, like a heart. At first, you might think, ‘A heart. Simple enough.’ But it is the nature of a designer to question every line, every curve, and the breakdown of even the most simple shapes.
The above image illustrates how I arrived at what I consider to be the best solution for a graphic heart. I started by recognizing the lowest common denominator in shape; a triangle and a circle. The curves, proportions, and angles are all based on the Golden Ratio.
Even though some icons may not be as lionized as say, the logo of a brand, the care for detail must drive every decision.

I played a role in the new Cymbals Eat Guitars video for ‘Keep Me Waiting,’
directed by Adam Kurland.
This was absolutely some of the most fun I’ve ever had.
Huge thanks to friend/producer Lauren Sieczkowski
for helping me get this role.
