ABOUT ME
Born and raised in the heart Green Bay, I've been drawing since I was basically a baby. From doodles on the walls of my childhood kitchen to stacks of drawing-filled books in my bedroom closet, drawing was my great escape.
With this passion for the arts, I moved to Milwaukee to further explore my creative potential. Initially uncertain about my career path, college became the place where I discovered my love for design. I started as a poster designer for university dorm events, which landed me a design internship at a shoe company. That internship then led to an agency position. During this time, I became a versatile creative, designing dozens of logos and ad campaigns, and honing my skills across various mediums.
However, I found that I didn't enjoy the structured feedback loop of the agency world, where everything had to go through an art director, a creative director, and an accounts person before reaching the client. This process left me feeling burnt out and disconnected from my work. So, in 2021, at the age of 24, I started my own business with the goal of providing clients great design while ensuring clear communication and a more personal touch with every project.
