I'm an interdisciplinary designer from central Minnesota, graduate of Winona State University with a Bachelor’s in I-Design. I have two working years of experience and a lifetime of devotion to art & design.
I got into design back in middle school, just messing around. In my early days on the internet, I found community comprised of editors, tutorials, and software.
I have a love for all design, but I specialize in Brand & Identity, Photo, & Creative Storytelling.
