My name is Cole. I’m the Creative Director at Burrow. I live in Greenpoint and I like sailboats, cities, and sad dad bands. Scroll to see my work or send me an email.
Work
The projects below are a selection of things I am proud to have worked on, and will hopefully give you a sense of the work I like to do.

Creative direction, copywriting, naming, and more for the fifth modular seating system from Burrow.

Sho Shibuya and I teamed up to create a poster for a documentary and immersive exhibit about Bernie Krause, commissioned by Fondation Cartier.
2021
I helped artist Sho Shibuya create the concept for his exhibition at Art Basel Miami Beach in 2021, presented by Yves Saint Laurent.
2018
Burrow is a new kind of furniture company. It’s not a normal furniture company. We made some commercials that said as much.
2015–2024
Older stuff that I still love
About
Still reading, are we? You and I must be similar: I read every last word on websites, on boxes, on signs and walls and windows out walking around the city. Always have. Might explain why I became a writer!
These days, I’m the Creative Director at Burrow, where in addition to adding words to every surface I can find as a little treat, I lead the in-house creative team produce everything from on-location productions and TV commercials to the assembly instruction booklets that come with the furniture. (And I’m equally proud of both.)
I also co-created Plastic Paper, a creative platform for sustainability projects. I studied English at the University of Missouri, specifically Creative Nonfiction, which is to say that I read and wrote a lot of essays, which probably explains why I love to write manifestos and I’m too sincere for my own good. I grew up in Marblehead, Massachusetts and before I lived in New York, I spent a solid chunk of time in Minneapolis, which is a very nice city.
If you’re in need of words or ideas in exchange for money, send me an email.
If you’re in need of friendship and dad jokes, find me on the internet.
