About
Greg is a print/web designer, wordpress developer, photographer, and screen printer living in Philadelphia, PA. When he’s not busy with any of the above, he’s also an avid DIY’er, a pretty decent vegetarian cook, and can make a pretty decent brew. He likes Art Chantry, Stefan Sagmeister, James Victore, Hatch Show Print, Asbury Park, Fishtown, wood grain, punk rock, western shirts, belt buckles, show posters, mockumentaries, and ReadyMade Magazine(RIP). He’s also been known to sometimes get a little overly obsessed with Bruce Springsteen.
