From Art to Disc Golf
I studied visual art in the early 2000s. That’s also where I first discovered disc golf.
My first creative outlet in the game was dyeing discs. I developed a style that felt different; loose, layered, almost watercolor in nature. It wasn’t about perfection. It was about feel.
From this, inspired by everyone’s favorite landscape artist, the name Happy Little Accidents naturally fit. That same mindset eventually carried over into everything else I do.
Designing the Course Experience
As a graphic designer, I naturally gravitated toward the visual side of the game: logos, branding, and eventually tee signage.
And the more courses I played, the more one thing stood out:
Too many great courses are held back by forgettable signage.
Flat. Generic. Template-driven. Bassically, a missed opportunity.

What I Do Differently
I approach every course, and every hole, as a blank canvas.
The goal is simple: create signage that adds something to the course — something a course designer can be proud of, and something players actually remember.
Designed to be remembered. Not just information, but experience.
No templates. Every hole is illustrated by hand in Procreate.
Built for the course. Layout, terrain, and flow drive every decision.
