Bio

I have a background in Graphic Design, but have always been really excited about the intersection of good design and business. When visual design as well as design thinking come together to make businesses more efficient, more understood, better experiences and ultimately as a result perform at the best of their abilities. A recent example of a businesses that makes my heart sing is Good Pair Days, they are doing everything right and it spreads joy!

    Worked with my brother to bring his vision to life, golf socks that challenge the status quo and bring personality to the course. Lots of fun building something from the ground up and gaining traction! 🏌️ Socks inspired by golf, crafted for all athletes. ☀️ We believe you should always show who you are, even when the rules would rather you didn’t. We have developed technical socks with modern design, high performance fabric and most importantly, a creative approach enabling the new breed of golf personalities to shine through on and off the course.
