hi. i'm adam

I create designs that build photographer brands and help everyday photo lovers share their biggest life memories. 

designer.
photographer.
all around creative guy.

i'm going to be honest...

The Modern Collective was
born from my habit of turning my hobbies into careers.

And let me tell you, I'm not mad about it. Each day I get to show up and do what I love all while helping people do what they love, too. There's something pretty cool about that. 

My first creative passion was photography. I started photographing Minnesota seniors and families in 2008. Two years later, I created The Modern Collective to share my love for design.
