A creative collaborator, thought partner, and certified inspiration junkie, I believe you can make real money doing the thing you actually love to do.
That belief turned The Inspired Foundry from a brand design studio into an idea consultancy: mapping, branding, and building the ideas people have been thinking about for years, so they finally get made. Is it your turn next?
Listen, I get weirdly excited about your big ideas.
Structure, movement, and emotional awareness: this is heart of Creative Cartography, a navigation system for the creative process. It works for anything you want to make. Any industry, any stage, any size, and is something you can return to again and again as you build, reflect, and evolve in your work.
What I believe
THE philosophy
In your town, over coffee and a croissant. Around a table with a big sheet of butcher paper. Both casual and intimate, our time together is deep. We take up space, take our time, and make the most of it. Handwritten notes turn into digital maps and folios for a touch of elevation.

BRANDS BUILT
160+
I’ve designed over 160 brands, toured internationally with my band, The OK Factor, and spent the last decade helping artists, entrepreneurs, and multi-hyphenate creatives take ideas from their heads and turn them into real things -- brands, businesses, projects that exist and do something meaningful in the world.
Your midwest visionary magician
THE FOUNDER
Yep, I said it. But what I really mean is, we've all been trained to look at follow-through as all or nothing. I built The Inspired Foundry because I got tired of watching people abandon great ideas halfway through -- I wanted a place where inspiration meets action, where you get support, not just strategy. And most importantly, where you don't have to do it all on your own.
Because that's no fun, anyway.
So many creatives have incredible ideas...
and lousy follow-through.
Our goal is not just to create beautiful things, but to create beautiful things with purpose. We aim to leave the world a little bit more beautiful than we found it.
ARTISTRY
Your weird is welcome here. Your crazy big ideas, strange thoughts, curiosities, and interests all have a place at our creative table. We're here to explore and expand.
FREEDOM
A creative life falls flat when we try to go it alone. We honor togetherness, the sacred space formed by the joining of minds.
COLLABORATION
We are motivated by the belief that we have yet to do our best work, the highest potential of what we have to offer, individually and together.
VISION
THE values
We trust in our innate ability to create and honor that spirit as we aim to do our best work.
INTUITION
I'm living the creation process right alongside you.
