I was raised on a farm in Western Minnesota. That’s where I learned how to work hard and help things grow. Two things I still do today as a designer.
I like to call myself a multidisciplinary designer, which is just my way of saying I have learned how to learn. I’ve learned to choose ideas over mediums and craft over tools. I tackle problems from a holistic perspective, and love finding the solution that fits like a glove.
