Portland / Seattle

I was one of a team of four who ran Loveless Records, an independent record label based in Seattle. We put out some great music by a bunch of fantastic bands, like The Drop, Voyager One, Man of the Year, Los Halos, Vendetta Red, Tom Brosseau and several more. I designed many of our CDs and all of our posters, stickers, t-shirts and other promotional materials. It was also my responsibility to manage the CD manufacturing and fulfillment schedule for all of our releases. It was a lot of work, no pay and some of the best times of my adult life.
