To get back into the groove, I offer a few glimpses from my most recent adventures for your enjoyment/amusement. Team […]

Tweet of the week
As the summer nestles in for its long stay to give us its fiery, hot-wet-blanket best, I thought this little tweet just summed it all up so nicely. Plus, I laughed aloud and nearly snarfed my coffee upon reading it. Thanks, @B2TheEasyE. And a happy, sultry holiday weekend to you all! P.S. Nice hashtag. […]

A Poem for Blue Bicycle Books, Billy Collins & Bill Murray
Kismet While purchasing signed copies of Billy Collins’s poetry, Picnic, Lightning, The Trouble With Poetry (and other poems), I notice a photograph on the counter of the poet laureate, the young woman ringing me up and the bookshop owner. The photograph shows the woman and the owner attempting to hold ecstasy at arm’s length, alongside […]

Angie Hranowsky & James Plummer
It’s such a buzz to work with people whose work you admire. I met designer Angie Hranowsky about three years ago and instantly fell in love with her work. She created an incredible brochure for a historic Charleston waterfront event venue that I was helping promote. Fast forward three years, and I’m having drinks with […]

A porch named Poogan
Super designer and pal Jay Fletcher (He also makes great pies!) hit me up a while back to help with a project for the folks of Poogan’s Porch.

Profiled in The New York Times “36 Hours In..” series. And, randomly, in Travel + Leisure’s List of America’s Most and Least Attractive Cities. (Sorry, Santa Fe, […]

Darkness To Light: It Takes A Village

I got the opportunity to meet with D2L’s CFO, Jolie Logan, who was heading up the project, and it was a big one: a new identity, courtesy […]

For CoJo
Tomorrow a dear, sweet friend of mine leaves Charleston to its own humid devices to venture north to the land of clams, patriots and red sox. Yes friends, BOSTON. I’ve known Courtney Jo for nearly three years now, and in that short expanse of time (a blink, really), she has become an indispensable part of […]

Yarborough Applegate: sleeves rolled up
Friends at Blue Ion just launched a site for two Charleston attorneys and their new firm, Yarborough Applegate. I had the opportunity to meet with William and David as I worked on copy for their site. Both are Charleston natives. In fact, they’ve been friends since childhood. And, both worked for big Charleston firms, William […]
