My formal, technical training comes from UMN — Twin Cities where I received my BFA in Graphic Design. I originally went into Graphic Design as my way to enter a creative field; I then fell in love with design thinking and the ability to visually communicate.

I find joy in branding & identity, as I am the type of person who thrives under a bit of constraint. I love working within style guides and branding rules to push my creative and logical sides to work together. I view style guides and visual limitations as the “problem” I am trying to solve.

My minor in Digital Media has led me to understand how content is created and shaped, as well as how digital communication impacts design and human interaction. I use this as my basis for content creation and social media marketing.

Ultimately, I view myself as a problem-solver. I propose creative questions and solve with logical answers. I often recite “knowing nothing can be more than knowing everything” and I carry this throughout my work as a sort of curiosity and openness — allowing me to focus on problem solving and creative thinking.
