derivation

What’s a "pseudoroom"? In 1996, as a scruffy lad in art school, Justin’s fledgling web site was a virtual folio display in a quasi physical space: a pseudo room. The name has stuck through the course of time. The broad concept is derivative of his passion for design; in particular, its infusion with the digital landscape.

Throughout the years, this site has served as a personal creative outlet, and a product of technical and visual experimentation. A stroll down memory lane recounts some of those previous designs.

past and present

A graduate of the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, Justin is a multi-faceted, multi-pierced, multi-tattooed designer who cites Carlos Segura and Josef Müller-Brockmann among his design influences.

He's an extremely proud father. He has shaken Steve Jobs' hand. He's a bit of a watch fetishist. He's got "U-S-A-B-I-L-I-T-Y-!" tattooed on his fingers. Ok, that's not entirely true; it's a tramp stamp.

Currently, Justin is the Creative Director for Nansen Chicago. Past and present, he's worked with amazing brands including Sony, Chase, SRAM, IBM, Groupon, Humana, and Griffin Technology.
