Recording, Production, and Creative Work
Beyond performing, I help artists and bands with recording, production, and creative strategy: live sound and mixing, branding, visual design.
If you're looking to make something sound (or look) better, let's talk.
Logos, brand identities, album art, and websites — design that looks like the people it belongs to.

What I'd love to build for you
A microsite for your band
Shows, releases, press kit, mailing list. Update it from your phone the day of the show.
A small tool that solves one thing
Single-purpose utilities for venues, labels, agents. Doesn't justify a SaaS, does justify a weekend.
A landing page that earns its weight
Single-purpose, opinionated, fast. No cookie-cutter section grids.
Got a tool, site, or weird experiment? Let's talk.
I run tabletop games for hire. One-shots, campaigns, coaching for new DMs.
Open table
Tell me a story you'd like to live in.
Mostly D&D 5e. Heavy on character, light on dice math.
What I bring to the table
A complete story in a single night
Three to five hours, party of three to six. Pre-built characters or bring your own. Birthdays, bachelor parties, work nights that deserve to be more fun.
Long-running games with real stakes
Recurring tables, custom worlds, modules tuned to your group.
New DM? I can sit at the table with you.
Session-zero help, prep workflows, your first arc.
Roll for initiative
Book a one-shot
Pick a night, pick a group. I'll bring the world.
Essays, field notes, and the occasional liner note. For clients who'd rather sound like themselves than like a brand-voice mood board.
What I write
Pieces that take their time without losing the room.
Argument-driven essays for indie publications, founder blogs, and personal sites. Written to be read end-to-end.
Album notes, bios, press copy.
Records, the people who made them, and the writing in between. Bios that sound like the artist.
Microcopy, landing pages, launch posts.
Short copy that picks a position. For launches that deserve more than a "Welcome aboard!" toast.
Piece to commission? Launch that needs words? Let's talk.
