Hi. Thanks for visiting my site.

I’m an artist and a writer. I ran my own design studio for many years working mainly with other artists and arts organizations. Projects span print, digital, spacial, film and video.

By 2012, the graphic design industry had been highjacked by the internet and my days devolved into making website and responding to emails. It sucked. I started moonlighting in restaurants just for the human interaction. I got obsessed with wine, became a sommelier, ran a club, a wine shop, and then opened a small restaurant. I ran a wine club during this period focusing on low intervention wines. During this time I could be found on the floor, in the cellar, behind the bar, and even sometimes in the kitchen.

Since 2022 I’ve been slow traveling, writing, and working on some personal projects. I recently finished a screenplay that draws on my experiences in the wine shop, a short story about the year I moved to San Francisco, and a collection of very dark short poems about my lineage. It’s called Lineage. Am very happy with my itinerant lifestyle.

If you’d like to get in touch you can contact me here. Thanks for reading.

Portrait of Carol King

  • Placed second in a This American Life t-shirt design contest.

    Worked on two Italian films under production designer Carlo Simi (The Good, The Bad and the Ugly, Once Upon A Time In The West) before he died.

    Briefly had a comic series called Somnambule published in The Blackheart Irregulars before it went belly up.

    Sang Carole King’s “I Feel the Earth Move Under My Feet” by request to the closing credits of The Freezer Show after my guest appearance.

    Taught English and Art at the Shilela Academy in Boma N’Gombe, Tanzania at the foot of Mt. Kilimanjaro.

    I speak Italian and French. Had to curb my slang obsession after my Italian tutor scolded me for starting to sound like a Roman street urchin.
