If you know me, you know that I love where I’m from. That being said, you might think it’s somewhere exotic and attractive. And it is, but not for the typical reasons. My backyard at the outskirts of my small Midwestern town fostered a love of exploration and adventure. Many days I’d lose track of time as I enjoyed all the great natural design that surrounded me, and I’d often come home with dirty fingernails, filthy jeans, and a big smile on my face. There’s something relieving in knowing the world is so much bigger and more complex than me.

These days I’m still exploring and getting my clothes dirtied, (sadly not literally often enough). Many years of freelance work, several years of college, and a few years in the professional world have taught me a little about a lot of things, among them print design, web development, and branding.

I graduated with a BA in Studio Art from Wheaton College with photography and graphic design concentrations. I am currently an MFA candidate in the MFA graphic design program at SCAD in Savannah, Georgia, where I am enjoying the muggy weather and awfully sweet tea.
