"The '65 Roses' story dates back to 1965 when an observant 4-year-old, hearing the name of his disease for the first time, pronounced cystic fibrosis as '65 Roses.' Today, '65 Roses' is a term often used by young children with cystic fibrosis to pronounce the name of their disease."

I was asked to create a line of paint for a niche audience (twenty-somethings who rent and aren’t allowed to paint their walls) and bring the product to market. I developed a product called Paint & Peel, a removable wall paint that users could easily remove when their rental agreement expires.

A laser-cut redesign of a book of poems by Charles Bukowski.
Reach me down my Tycho Brahe, I would know him when we meet,
When I share my later science, sitting humbly at his feet;
He may know the law of all things, yet be ignorant of how
We are working to completion, working on from then to now.
Pray remember that I leave you all my theory complete,
Lacking only certain data for your adding, as is meet,
And remember men will scorn it, 'tis original and true,
And the obloquy of newness may fall bitterly on you.
But, my pupil, as my pupil you have learned the worth of scorn,
You have laughed with me at pity, we have joyed to be forlorn,
What for us are all distractions of men's fellowship and smiles;
What for us the Goddess Pleasure with her meretricious smiles!
You may tell that German College that their honor comes too late,
But they must not waste repentance on the grizzly savant's fate.
Though my soul may set in darkness, it will rise in perfect light;
I have loved the stars too fondly to be fearful of the night.
