HI, MY NAME IS JOE.
‍
I make art about technology and technology about art.

My day job is making digital products, and I really love it: you can see that portfolio here.

My clients include Microsoft, Starbucks, SubPop Records, Nickelodeon, Disney, Adobe, the Democratic Party and many others. I've spoken at SXSW, San Diego Comic-con, the Seattle Interactive Conference, the Seoul International Cartoon Festival and many other venues about interactive art and creativity. My work has been featured and lauded in the New York Times, The Boston Globe, The LA Times, The Seattle Times, The Atlantic, Art Forum, Tin House and many other publications.

I have a newsletter in which I send weekly comics, ideas, podcasts, talks, and sometimes even merch. You can subscribe here.

Reach out to me for speaking engagements or interesting project ideas.

I am not currently taking on new freelance projects at this time.

XO, Joe

DESIGN NOTES
I've never agreed with the idea that design should be a neutral vendor of services. The best design is one that take into account user or viewer needs, production limitations, and intended audience, obviously; but pretending that a designer's personal opinion doesn't have an effect on the design is willfully naive at best. To wit, here is where I admit I am unabashedly a progressive bleeding-heart leftist.

I've been doing pro bono work for leftist causes for years. If you work for a leftist cause and you like my work, reach out, I'll mostly likely hook you up.

If you represent a right-wing cause, you probably shouldn't try to hire me. Sorry, bruh, I don't do fascists. 💁
Reach out to me if you're part of a progressive cause. Seriously. Always happy to help.
