I’m Bill...

I have seventeen years of Los Angeles-Austin based design, strategy, media production, built environment, storytelling and marketing experience. I’ve had the privilege of following my interests so in that respect it seems criminal to call it a career. Along the way I’ve worked with some really smart people. Thanks for stopping in...
