Clean and Simple

Then: my life before Matchstic
I lived under the sunsphere for 22 years, attending UT Knoxville and getting my BFA in Design.

Now: my life at Matchstic
I came to work at Matchstic because….the community. The guys in the office and the clients are rad.

Test: lessons in branding
Design is communication.  When creating a brand, it’s not just a design; it’s a statement.  Make sure you say the right thing.

Read: recommended reading
I'll say the Brand Gap. It actually keeps my attention. "The nail that sticks up is the one brave nail."       
 
Crush: my favorite brand
It's got to be Harley Davidson. It just encompasses everything it is. It is man.

Trophy: a recent accomplishment
I'm pretty proud of myself for being hired to be honest. Other than that it's rad to hear clients be excited about work we've helped them with.

Confession: on working at Matchstic
Life at Matchstic is pretty smooth. Somehow I have the corner office, aptly named "The Crow's Nest." Best thing about working here would be the Nerf gun fights. The toughest thing about working here would be the Nerf gun fights.
 
Bite: first food that comes to mind when I think of Matchstic
BBQ. The best southern mess you can get.

Life: my world
My folks and sister and brother-in-law are in Knoxville, so my ATL family is my cat named Charlie. Guitar Hero is my addiction. I love riding my fixed gear (I spent entirely too much money on it). I wish I could go snow skiing and scuba diving more often. I enjoy winning trivia with Nick and not John. And I can't stand the sound of someone eating a banana.
