Did I tell you - I once bought an entire set of tools to create a rigid two-piece with very specific contours.
Lets just say this one hit the right note with the buyer!

Like yourself, I'm a huge fan of the work seen here and take great pride in acknowledging the greater work lies before us all.

Looking back, I started this page as a loose collection of 'hits' to answer the question, 'What is it you do?'

Literally I cut and fold paper (Kirigami & Origami), I organize ideas, and manage the design, production and release of consumer facing packaged product offerings.

I've spent the past 25 years working to create and develop toys, electronics and media for a majority of retail related companies, the last 12 of which, I have accepted short and long term opportunities to fill the gaps in those organizations, ranging from 1 to 3 year stints.

Conceivably, and without sales support, the last 20 years would look uncurated. Without great artists, the work would just be a stack of blank paper. And without the consumers, there'd be no work to do.

I'm grateful to work with all of you.

You can't have an ego in this business - as I'm fond of saying, 'you spend your life making these things, and the packaging is the first thing to hit the trash'.

Herein, then, is a simple collection of some pieces I've have the privilege of conspiring to help create, and this is where I share with you the process and progress of time well spent.

Any questions?
