About
After 20+ years in the U.S. Navy, I traded the uniform for the studio -- but I kept the discipline. I'm a product designer, illustrator, and creative director building Cumquat Vibes from the ground up.
I design products, build e-commerce systems, and create content that connects. From Shopify to YouTube to Etsy, every piece of the business runs on the same operational mindset that ran a warship: systems, precision, and relentless execution.
I share the playbook -- the tools, the automations, and the lessons -- through The Studio Signal and on my YouTube channel. If you're a veteran, creative, or entrepreneur looking to build something real, you're in the right place.
