I'm not exactly sure when and where I came across this LA-based project, but facinating non-the-less.
THE THING is a quarterly periodical in the form of an object. Each year, four artists, writers, musicians or filmmakers are invited by the editors (Jonn Herschend and Will Rogan) to create an everyday object that somehow incorporates text. This object will be reproduced and hand wrapped at a wrapping party and then mailed to the homes of the subscribers with the help of the United States Postal Service.
Who doesn't love getting beautiful mail?

By day, I am a Chicago-based business partner/creative director/designer of Tandemodus, and a Hoosier-based husband/dad/son/brother/friend/hiker/bird watcher by night (and weekends).
Having graduated from Ball State University in 2000 with a BFA in graphic design, I know my existence for the next several years is at capacity with job titles. Now, I am focused on bettering myself at each and every role.
I have been blessed to work in some of the most challenging and meaningful industries with some of the most gifted people in their respective industries. I love to solve complex problems and I really enjoy working with a myriad of people throughout this process—to learn about new perspectives or techniques I might not have considered. I believe in delivering world-class service—which doesn’t always mean doing what you’re asked to do—but maybe, doing what is best for your customer. I believe in creating something that works as well as it looks. And I believe nothing replaces hard work.
