As the creative founder of Little Hippie, I specialize in illustration, licensed merchandising & experiential design, being both an expert in the art of the counter culture and a figure in it. My artwork has become iconic in its own right, and many of my images are now being riffed on by other artists as part of the ever evolving Grateful Dead lexicon. With over twenty years experience in merchandising design and licensing, I am well familiar with the ins and outs of licensing contracts, deal negotiations, and artist agreements. Not only do I have the ability to create imagery that is at once classic and timely, but I can manage the entire project from concept through production to fulfillment and marketing. A strong leader with a highly capable team behind me, I am always ready to take on new opportunities.Having moved frequently as a child, I developed a love early on for new places paired with an ability to keep in touch with people from everywhere. After graduating at 20 years old with a BA in French & English from Skidmore College in 1999, I spent much of my early adult life on the road traveling to countless concerts and music festivals to promote Little Hippie. I now split my time between Brooklyn, the Connecticut shoreline and Northern California. In my free time you can usually find me somewhere outdoors swimming, running, yoga-ing, and riding things down hills or otherwise playing on this big bright blue ball spinning freely in space.
