Field Notes has been a constant companion throughout the last 12 years of my life. I never thought so much of my career would shaped by discovering a little notebook brand in college. These notebooks are fantastic, and I'm excited to share the stories they've carried with me in this video.
This is a bit of a retrospective for me, and I'm so happy to share some of my favorite projects that I've worked on, including Moving Still, Creative Club Chicago, Rally Caps, Get Bored & Make Stuff, my own graphic design journey, doing photo work for Field Notes, and many more rabbit holes :)
