I was 13, sitting at the kitchen counter with my stepmom chatting about what I might want to do...FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE.
"Something in the computer graphics would be kind of cool," she said with her Midwest accent as she pointed to showtimes for Free Willy 2 in the Saturday newspaper.
That was the moment I began to explore it.
As a child, I grew up in Rhode Island, then went to high school in Minnesota where I took a Graphic Communications class where I worked with offset printers and fell in love with all aspects of the creative process. From there, I went to college in the Midwest for Graphic Design and have evolved my career in the creative field. I recently spent the last 9 years in Seattle working for tech companies and agencies and was fortunate enough to have some really great mentors along the way. I have recently moved to sunny Austin, TX where I freelance full-time.
A large portion of my background has been in advertising and marketing, both agency and corporate working with omni-channel deliverables. I love working with people to define how brands come together all while maintaining a cohesive brand and design language.
