ABOUT ME

MODERN APPROACH

I tie brands together by marrying classic design elements with a modern approach to connecting with audiences. I've been working on my craft for over a decade, and I'm just as passionate today about what I do as I was when I first stepped out of art school. I'm always watching. I'm always learning. I'm always creating something new.

Design? Check. Illustration? Check. Websites? Check. Photography? Check.

Video? Check. Social media? Check.

IDENTITY & BRAND CREATION

Your brand is more than your logo. It's your identity. It's your name. It's what people say about you when

you're not around. Does your brand talk? If so, what does it say? Allow me to help you with your public messaging.

Banksy Marie Finsley, you were the Queen of the house, the controller of all things chaos, the greeter of everyone who walked in our door, and the source of all things comedic. Fearless to a fault. We miss you… So bad.

Tempura oysters drizzled with sweet and spicy miso barbeque sauce, chives, and roasted black sesame seeds. Served with Sriracha, dark soy sauce, and pickled ginger.

I’ve been thinking about making these for almost two weeks, and the wait was well worth it.

CRAWFISH FRITTER PO-BOY & TWICE FRIED CAJUN STYLE FRIES!

Po-Boy - Admittedly, this is something I’ve never made before, even with my undying love for Po-Boys—crawfish tails, heavily seasoned and mixed with hushpuppy mix - Deepfried.

Fresh cut fries, twice fried — Season with Cajun seasoning, refry, then reseason. Topped with homemade Remoulade sauce, homemade pickled red onions, and a few splashes of Louisiana hot sauce.

Lettuce, tomato, on a soft Italian hoagie bun.

Sauces - Homemade Remoulade sauce with a unique twist of adding horseradish and sweet relish.
Homemade Fry sauce but with added dill, chives, horseradish sauce, and brown sugar. (First time making it, and I’d rather drink gasoline than have any other dipping sauce for my fries)

Soba noodle soup with a Miso base simmered with a tomato and serrano paste, with added lobster shells and brown Gulf shrimp shells for a deeper depth of flavor. Topped with blackened shrimp coated in smoked paprika, salt, pepper, and Guajillo chili powder, green onion, soy sauce/hoisin marinated baby bella mushrooms, sauteed baby bok choy, pickled carrot, and pickled daikon radish, thinly sliced serrano, one egg yolk, sesame seed, deep fried lobster tail, and a splash of Sriracha.

Sadly, the only local ingredients are seafood and produce. I had to order all the other ingredients from Amazon last week.

DOUBLE DEEP-FRIED PORK BELLY! I tried something new today, and it blew me away! I’m not a big fan of deep-frying food, but I couldn’t help myself. GAHTDAMN, this was good!

Pork belly brined in dark soy sauce, rice wine vinegar, sesame oil, Sriracha, brown sugar, and crushed red pepper flakes.

Roll around in rice flour, cornstarch, egg whites, smoked paprika, cayenne, onion powder, garlic powder, and S&P.

Fry for 2 minutes on each side, and let rest. Fry again for 3 minutes on each side until they’re crispy AF.

Topped with Sriracha, crunchy garlic chili oil, pickled onions, Sriracha, and a dash of toasted sesame seeds.

Dipping sauces are YUM-YUM sauce and hoisin sauce.

Pair every bite with a sliver of pickled ginger for some added depth of flavor.

It might not seem like a big deal to most, but I grew this garden from seed! Seeing my hard work pay off is incredibly satisfying! There's still cilantro and basil to start the herb drying process and plenty more sage and rosemary to harvest, but I wanted to start small.

P.S. I have never smelled anything as fresh as these herbs. Even after air drying for two weeks, they are incredibly pungent!

OOOOOOOOOOOO!

So, for my birthday this year, I’ll be serving you, Wheeling! Oh, there’s nowhere in our city to get your hands on authentic pho? I’m just going to go ahead and take care of that for you at @1306gatherhere .
Most, or at least SOME of you know, I’ve spent the last few years perfecting BOTH my authentic Ramen and Pho recipes. It takes time, effort, and understanding why certain ingredients have a happy marriage.
Amazingly delicious broth. Savory, slightly sweet, a little salty, with perfect aromatics from the vegan beef broth (YES, THAT’S A THING), other ingredients, and spices. Folks, it’s good. Like, absurdly good.
Toppings: All-day-braised shaved beef, all-day-braised beef rib meat, Sautéed mung bean sprouts, Sautéed Shiitake Mushrooms, Sautéed bok choy, thinly sliced red onion, green onion, cilantro, roasted sesame seeds, salt-brined jalapeño slices, lime wedges.

It’s such a privilege to have the opportunity to feed people. With my love for cooking, experimenting in the kitchen, and doing my own thing with authentic recipes, I am recklessly in love with it, and always have been.
Today was off the charts amazing, and I appreciate everyone who RSVP’ed, posted up, and supported me.
If it wasn’t for Brooke and @1306gatherhere, I wouldn’t be out here living with a giant smile on my face today.
THANK YOUUUU!

LET'S TALK

"Dan has done work for us for years and is our go to guy when we need anything to do with graphics, branding, or photography. Hell, he and I almost died once while doing a photo shoot because apparently Kroger sells pyrotechnic displays advertised as small fireworks. Long story short, hire this guy. He’s the best there is in the valley."
