Introductions: One Total Jerk
Because, honestly, who would have a headshot like that, ready to go at a moment’s notice?
One total jerk, that’s who.
I’ve had the happy pleasure of watching RedPost grow first-hand during the last year and a half. My freelance design studio, Dannyprose, helped design Eric’s first business cards, briefly shared space at the first RedPost HQ (with some more-than-humbling results), and even helped Eric during RedPost’s expedition into Las Vegas for this year’s Digital Signage Expo.
It’s been a fun process – but merely fun – until yesterday. Yesterday I started as RedPost’s full time Art Director: Eric and I sat down towards the end of the day, and he told me about where RedPost was as at as product and as a company. And then he told me, as he sketched a rough user model, where that product and company are going.
I thought that I understood what RedPost was trying to do, but yesterday everything clicked together with that conversation with Eric. And it’s really exciting. It’s groundbreaking. It’s all those things that people say about their companies… but on paper, sketched out, I saw something that was really, obviously unique in the digital signage industry. I saw a plan that only one company in this industry could pull off.
And it all clicked together, it really did.

More recently you could have found me designing admissions material and the alumni magazine for Goshen College. I also worked with Eric and some others to develop First Fridays, downtown Goshen’s monthly block party.
During my education at Calvin College I opened the aforementioned Dannyprose: a collaborative art-project-turned-design-studio. I have also served as the art director for New World Arts, an independent theatre in downtown Goshen.
And, in case you are in the need for some A+ drivel, I also blog here and here, on a moderately regular basis.
