Creative Direction

From 2012 to 2023, I was the founder and creative director of a design company that acquired Commonwealth Skateboarding, Portland's only indoor skatepark. Under my ownership & direction we turned it into a thriving community, retail space, and wholesale brand which continues on for the skaters of PDX.
