I am looking forward to speaking at the IAPPF International Conference, Expo & Global Racquet Sports Summit November 17-19 in Orlando. The IAPPF is curating three days, three tracks, and over 40 expert sessions focused on all facets of the pickleball and padel facility industries. IAPPF events consistently draw top facility operators and industry leaders from across the country (and world,) and deliver tremendous, actionable value to facility operators. There’s great networking opportunities and a whole lot of fun.

I invite you to register and join us for the conference. IAPPF members get free admission with their paid membership (a $495 value.) Register now and see you in Orlando.

Creative South is turning 15, and somehow the theme couldn’t be more perfect: Homecoming.

After all these years, Creative South has become so much more than a conference for me. It’s shaped my business, challenged me creatively, and—most importantly—introduced me to some of my closest friends. I’m incredibly grateful to creativesouth for everything this community has given me over the years. ❤️

And 2027 is bringing some seriously fun stuff home: ⚾️ a baseball game, 🌉 the Bridge Party, and the return of some of the most-loved speakers from Creative South’s past.

I also had a blast creating the branding for this year’s Homecoming, with a little help from the good folks at RetroSupply Co., who generously shared some of their awesome brushes and textures. Thank you!

If you’ve never been to Creative South, this is the year to come home. And if you’ve been before…well, you already know.

🎟️ Early-bird tickets are on sale now, but not forever. Grab yours and come be part of the 15th year.

See you in Columbus! 🏠❤️

Okay… here’s what those old pickleball paddles became. 👀

I wanted to make something for my first sports trade show that wasn’t just another table, banner, and stack of business cards.

I wanted people to stop. Spin it. Grab a free sticker. Ask, “What is this?” And hopefully start a conversation.

Because I’m going to the AB Show and the IAPPF International Conference with a little more on my mind than trying to sell design services. I’m hoping to build relationships, meet people in the pickleball, padel, and sports industries, make some new friends, and become part of this community.

Not everyone I meet will need a designer today. But maybe they know someone who does. Maybe they’ll need one six months from now. Or maybe we just have a great conversation.

That’s the bet I’m making.

The base is a $6 floor lamp from Goodwill Columbus. The paddles are donated by friends. The acrylic was designed in Adobe Illustrator and cut on my Glowforge⚡️3D Laser Cutter & Engraver laser cutter. And the paddles were painted with Rust-Oleum and lettered with POSCA USA paint markers.

Basically, a whole lot of creativity, a little bit of risk, and one very unique sticker dispenser. 😂

Now I want to hear from you: If you walked past this at a trade show, would you stop? And what would you ask me? 👇

I had a crazy idea… 🤔

I’m exhibiting at my first sports trade show, so I asked my pickleball friends if they had any old paddles they weren’t using anymore.

They gave me a LOT. 😂

This whole project is a bit of a leap of faith. I’ve never set up a booth at a sports expo before, and I have absolutely no idea if it’s going to pay off.

But I figured the only way to find out is to try.

I wanted to create something for my booth that would make people stop, get curious, and hopefully start a conversation.

So I grabbed some POSCA USA paint markers, Rust-Oleum spray paint, and started experimenting.

This is Part 1 of the story.

And trust me… these paddles are about to become something WAY more interesting.

What do you think I’m making? Take a guess before you watch Part 2. 👇

I’ve dreamed about speaking at Adobe MAX for a long time—and this November, it’s finally happening. 🙌

I’m incredibly excited to be leading a hands-on lab at Adobe MAX in Miami Beach where we’ll pull back the curtain on my packaging design workflow, from initial concepts and branding to creating production-ready artwork and bringing it all to life in Photoshop.

If you’re a designer looking to sharpen your Illustrator skills, build a stronger packaging workflow, and see how the pieces come together from concept to final presentation, I’d love to have you in the room.

Come to MAX, grab a seat in my lab, and let’s make some great work together.
Seats are limited, so sign up while there’s still room!

I’m excited to be heading to Adobe MAX in Miami Beach this November to teach a hands-on packaging design lab!

Packaging isn’t just about making something look good—it’s about building a brand that earns attention on the shelf and tells a story before anyone reads a word.

In this session, we’ll take a packing project from concept to presentation. You’ll learn how I use Illustrator to build the brand, create custom illustrations, and prepare production-ready artwork, then bring everything into Photoshop to create polished mockups that clients love.
If you’re a designer looking to sharpen your branding, illustration, and packaging skills, I’d love to meet you.

🌴 Join me in Miami. 👋 Come say hello after the session. 🎟️ Register early—Adobe MAX labs tend to fill up fast.

Who’s planning to be at MAX this year? Let me know in the comments!
