Pixel Josh coding

Hello, I'm Josh

My work as an engineer, designer and media producer has always been informed by a belief in the value of speech. I believe in giving driven, passionate change-makers a distinctive voice for good in the world. For more than a decade, that belief has guided me in my work designing and producing websites, commercials, podcasts, and printed materials.

My passion for well-structured code and attractive design has given a competitive edge to candidates, office holders, non-profits and Fortune 500 companies. I can't wait for the next opportunity to share my skills and help tell your story!

About Josh

Headshot

Josh obtained his BA from Oberlin College in Ohio in 2014. Raised in New Jersey where his career has been mostly focused, he now lives in New York City.

Josh is also a skilled sewing machine technician and amateur tailor, with especial expertise in mid-century modern European sewing machines. He has repaired hundreds of antique sewing machines and loves to sew shirts and suits. In his free time he can also be found composting, fermenting kimchi, and taking walks through Central Park and New York's many wonderful museums, galleries and fabric shops.
