Hi, I’m JD.

I’m a designer and a novelist who likes to speak and write about important sh*t. I also like dinosaurs.

I’m a veteran visual and UX designer with experience with some of the biggest agencies, consultancies, and brands in the USA. I was co-founder of the #1 Clutch-ranked UX agency, J+E Creative and currently serve as the executive design director for MaxMedia in Atlanta.

I’m the author of the acclaimed novel, Calamity, an occasional contributor to Newsweek and Paste, and an experienced design educator and public speaker. I’ve taught UX design at General Assembly, The Creative Circus, and The Atlanta College of Art. I’ve also taught history at the University of Georgia.
