I've always been a pack guy.Technical packs, travel bags, daypacks. I love designing them, developing them, and using them
PACKS
eddie bauer
Senior Creative Leader directing design strategy and product vision for licensed Eddie Bauer brand. Eddie Bauer is synonymous with outdoor heritage, with every product a tie to the past. Simply put - with Eddie, function is fashion.
carhartt
I was enlisted by Carhartt’s team for packs and bags to design their entire new launch of work gear. We focused on the Legacy Series: a line of work bags designed after the iconic Carhartt® cotton-duck pants and jackets. Items ranged from on-site work packs, duffels and briefcases, soft-sided tool bags, modular tool belts and accessories, bucket organizers, tool rolls, coolers and more.
pack people
Despite being in the bag industry for most of my career, when my family jumps in the car for a weekend road-trip, we generally mound up laundry baskets and canvas grocery totes with twice the stuff we need and speed out the door. Instead of pretending we’ll ever be more prepared, we instead embraced our tendencies and designed some family travel gear around them. Pack People is “as organized as you’re gonna be”. They are simple, open bags, intentionally designed for spontaneous living.
dity
As an active family - always on the move from sports to parks, the pool to the zoo, we’re always in need of simple travel gear. Not luggage, just well-organized, intuitive gear to help us get from point A to point B. Dity was a concept exercise for the busy family, and the brain-child of three design dads who needed to get out of the house! The line was built around brightly color-coded nesting gear and packing accessories - something for each member of the family. A system that could grow as your family did.
camelbak
Worker hydration is serious concern. Nearly two-thirds of construction workers drink less than the daily recommended 2L of water, leading to elevated rates of heat-related illness and job-site accidents. I helped lead the Camelbak PRO series from concept development, material strategy, and technical execution to create efficient hydration solutions designed to improve on-the-job performance and safety.
nike
In need of some conceptual exploration for back-to-school season, Nike contracted my services to design around the needs and wants of a student athlete. Sky was the limit on function, materials, fabrication and graphics, and the results were a dynamic blend of style and performance worthy of the swoosh.
