Hey, I’m Paul, a designer located in Chicago and I’m not nearly as pretentious as this photo makes me look.
I’ve art directed and designed magazine covers, outdoor and print ads, websites, videos, and more. My background includes agency and editorial work and I went to school for Studio Art, which is a fancy way to say “a little bit of everything,” so I’m comfortable working on a wide range of projects.
One of the things I love most about creative work is collaborating with talented people to produce something that would be difficult or impossible to make alone. I couldn’t have made half of the things on this site without the help of talented writers, photographers, illustrators, developers, makeup artists, and tons of other creative people. (Including clients with the money.)
So if you’re looking to build something bigger than the both of us, get in touch! Let’s make it happen.
