2022
A rural upbringing with a passion for all things design in a place that doesn’t fully understand it. My internal monologue is constantly critiquing and taking note of good and bad design. This fuels my desire to be a professional designer. Suited up with a graphic design degree I set out gaining professional experience in multiple lanes of design including: print and digital advertising, illustrating, branding, web, and UI/UX. Suffering from wanderlust I spent a year abroad in Australia and saw my calling from a new perspective. These experiences and struggles are the very reason I am the creative you see today.
Between the beers or wines and the deadlines, it’s not all work. Remaining playful and taking the time to seek adventure keeps the mind fresh. I find nature walks with my three dogs, home renovations, and travel are my favorite ways to recharge my battery.
