You could say I started my career journey at a fairly young age. It was in a commercial art class in high school that the lightbulb lit up– if I wanted to make art for a living, this was the way to do it. Suddenly I knew what I was going to college for. Over the years I spent time in many roles: concert/event promoter, prepress operator, freelancer, contractor, production artist and designer.

Most recently, I’ve been in a unique agency role working on-site and then remotely for one of our biggest clients, Best Buy. During that time, I was lucky enough to work with a truly amazing number of talented individuals who pushed me to grow and challenge myself daily. I’ve come away with some great experiences and also some great friends.

I’ve also recently challenged myself to learn and grow, by earning a certification in UI/UX from the University of Minnesota. While I am still a graphic designer at heart, I am excited by the prospect of applying my new knowledge to designing interfaces and experiences for people.
