About

Designer, educator, builder. Indianapolis.

I’ve spent fifteen years making things clear — on paper, on screens, on camera, and lately in code. This is the longer version of how that happened.

The short version

I’m a product designer and founder from Indianapolis. I co-founded ConvertSave with my brother, I own Pixel & Bracket — a design-education business with 334,000 subscribers — and I’m Senior Director of Pacers Gaming, the Indiana Pacers’ esports franchise.

The through-line is that I like building systems that compound: a tutorial library that pulls search traffic for a decade, a team brand that outgrows the league, a product that markets itself, and — most recently — a way of working with AI agents that lets one designer ship native software.

How I got here

In high school I planned on teaching elementary school. Then a multimedia class — Photoshop Elements, Final Cut, Flash — rerouted everything. I started college in Technology Education, lasted a semester of shop class, and switched to Visual Communication at Ball State, graduating with honors.

A paid internship at Beck’s Hybrids turned into seven years as their Digital Multimedia Specialist: print, photography, motion, interactive displays, and a website redesign where I became the translator between the creative and development teams. On the side I started a YouTube channel to answer the design questions I kept getting asked. That channel became Pixel & Bracket.

In 2018 the Indiana Pacers hired me to build content for their new NBA 2K League team. I built the league’s biggest team channel, ran sponsor integrations with real ROI, and in 2023 became Senior Director, adding team operations to the job.

In 2025 I stopped waiting for other people to build the things I designed. My brother Hunter and I shipped ConvertSave, and I rebuilt my working method around coding agents. Now I design and build, and I’m most useful to teams that want both.
