Tipsy Skipper

About Tipsy Skipper: Ahoy, and welcome aboard TipsySkipper! Everyone knows that fresh sea breezes, good friends and tasty libations are the makings of great times and wonderful memories. But they are also the inspiration for great designs that buoy the spirit and enliven the senses! As a descendant of the famous pirate, Captain Morgan — and a pretty fearless graphic designer (BFA, Rhode Island School of Design) — it’s probably not surprising that my cleverest notions are born at sea, under sail. I hope you’ll find that my bold colors and patterns evoke a sense of refreshing, adventurous and rejuvenating exploits — like a climb along the rocky New England coastline or a plunge into Block Island Sound. Many experiences and creative people have influenced my work, but I owe a debt of thanks to the talented folks at Vineyard Vines and Lilly Pulitzer who, through amazing internships, have enhanced my understanding of commercial design and inspired me to embark on this fantastic voyage. So, hop in and join me on TipsySkipper — it’s perfectly safe and tons of fun to rock the boat as we set sail through the salty spray in pursuit of treasures ahead! Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum!
