I remember my senior year at Tyler School of Art, my professor Dermot Mac Cormack told me I’d probably be too bored working in a design studio and should think about advertising instead. At the time, I had no idea what that even meant, or how to get into it. Looking back, it feels like something I kind of just yolo’d my way into, secretly scared the entire time.
Working in this industry over the past 14 years has provided me with some of the most memorable moments of my life- working alongside the most talented people and having a voice in rooms that art school Justin didn’t even know existed.
I’m historically bad at taking a compliment, but I’m truly honored by this acknowledgment and inclusion on Ad Age’s 40 Under 40 list.
So much gratitude to @d.portrait and the group project that is @kampgrizzly for the space, trust, and for laughing through it with me over the years.

I curated a book for @kampgrizzly new publishing arm KAMP A.B.C. The book- Sweet Sixteen was created for KAMP’s 16th birthday and features the work of 37 image makers reflecting on and detangling this complicated age.
I also did some writing in the book along with some interviews with friends and past collaborators. A whole team effort on this. We made a very limited run that you can purchase now at kampgrizzly.com
