Hey! I’m a Dod Dad and Lawn Care Nut working as an Artist, Graphic Designer, and Creative Strategist with 17-Years experience. I do what I say, follow-through and follow-up. I’ve worked on a wide variety of projects utilizing design thinking and creative strategy while offering a unique perspective when it comes to art and design and how they can be used in new and exciting ways together. #OpenToWork
Where…
Fort Finnllow is currently based in Macomb Township (Metro Detroit), Michigan.
Who…
Name Pronunciation: Kosta (Kōh-stah), the shortened form of Kostandinos (Kōh-stahn-dee-nōse).
Since my last name is even more difficult to spell and pronounce, I’ve worked under the monikers of Finnllow, Kosta Design, and Kosta Bold, but there’s only so many domains and websites a guy can have!
Finnllow? I'm most passionate about my two dogs, Finnegan (Brittany) + Willow (Long-Haired Weimaraner) and together they are Finnllow / FINN+LLOW (pronounced Fin-Low). My life revolves around them, so they were the inspiration to create a username that would eventually become my “brand” name. I’ve been using it and have been known as this ever since April 2012. Time flies…

I'm a native of the best-shaped State, Michigan. I was born and raised in The Motor City and currently live in Macomb Township, about 35-miles northwest of downtown Detroit. Growing up in Detroit, I was close enough to Canada to tune in to CBC on Channel 9 and watched Mr. Dressup every day. If you've read this far, yes, this is why my first dog is named Finnegan.
So, when I'm not posting pictures of Finnegan & Willow to Instagram, there's a good chance I'm letting them outside or back in, or out and in and back out and back in again, poop-smithing the yard, wiping their muddy paws, doing a load of laundry of dog towels... or letting them out and back in again. I also try my hand at home improvements whenever possible, often several times before I get it right or giving up completely and hiring a professional. I enjoy cycling local trails and parks, but it's been a while since I've done this regularly.
My favorite activities are feeding my dogs, especially in the morning, and our daily walks. This might sound boring, but I wished for this my entire life, and I've been lucky to enjoy this for the past 10-years.
I’m a Lawn Care Nut and turn into a different person when it's lawn and garden season. I pretty much live outside from late March—November, or whenever the first frost or snow comes. I’m always looking for the best organic products, lawn care methods, and new pattern ideas to mow my lawn.
More than anything else, I want to be the kind of person my dogs think I am.
