I make things for the city I love. Two ventures, one heartbeat: Bird Gang Studio — clothing and merch for the Eagles, the Phillies, and all things Philadelphia — and The Upside Philly, a gardening and design project bringing green and good design to the neighborhood. Built on grit — and ideas that actually ship.
Creativity is how I stay close to this city. I make things with my hands — testing ideas, sweating the details, turning them into something real. They're not hobbies; they're the whole point. Staying close to Philadelphia's culture and community shapes everything I build.
Two ventures, one city — built with a whole lot of Philadelphia pride.
A clothing and merch label for Philadelphia sports fans — Eagles green, Phillies red, and everyday Philly pride in between. Made by someone who actually bleeds for these teams, for the people who show up win or lose. Hands-on, high on detail, and unapologetically Philly.

A gardening and design venture in the works — bringing plants, care, and thoughtful design to Philadelphia's stoops, yards, and shared spaces. Optimism you can put your hands in the dirt for: small, green, and built to grow.

Philadelphia-based since 2022, Midwest-built, and the kind of person who commits hard once I care about something. I grew up in Ann Arbor, moved to New Jersey, and learned early what it means to adapt without losing yourself. Philly clicked fast: it has edge and soul, and I love the sports culture for the same reason I love the city — grit, loyalty, heart, and showing up even when it's ugly.
Momentum, craft, and purpose. I'm happiest when I'm building something real — something people can actually use, live with, and feel proud of. I love a good challenge, I love a clear win, and I love the energy of a team that's locked in.
Working on something in Philly — or want to talk shop about design, illustration, or storytelling?
I'd love to hear from you. The best ideas start with a real conversation.
