I live in Austin by way of small-town Texas, Mexico and New York. I began my career in Mexico, creating and producing visual displays for Liverpool Department Stores. I returned to Texas and worked briefly in fashion-related special events, relocating shortly thereafter to New York where I served as the Promotions/Marketing Director for Conde Nast, Hachette Filipacchi and Hearst at several national magazines including Allure, Lucky, Elle, Mirabella and Marie Claire.

After returning to Austin, I co-founded P&K Grocery, which closed in 2008. I spent the next 10 years working with a wide variety of clients, providing an assortment of customized creative services. Basketcase Design is the culmination of roads less travelled, professional risks and circuitous life choices, combined with a life-long obsession with art, hardware stores and beautiful things.
