  • 2015 - Present

  After establishing a design relationship with local TV celebrity J.P. Patches (Chris Wedes) in 2003 while designing his action figure and nodder for Archie McPhee, I was honored to be able to take on webmaster duties on his official website in 2015 and work with his estate to design and create licensed memorabilia. I also became caretaker for the J.P. Patches statue, Late for the Interurban, in Fremont, WA which involves overseeing maintenance of the statue, taking reservations for personally inscribed pavers surrounding it and donating proceeds from the engraved pavers to Seattle Children’s Cancer Research. I manage all aspects of Shopify store including marketing, social media, customer service, order fulfillment and shipping. I also manage a fundraising campaign for Washington State special license plate benefitting Seattle Children’s.
