I’m a Minneapolis-based Full Stack Designer with an eclectic blend of experiences.
I view myself as a “Swiss Army Knife” type of designer – able to do pretty much anything in a lot of different styles and media.
Educational background: I studied graphic design, studio arts, anthropology, and art history at the University of Minnesota and am working on an MFA in Interactive Design at the University of Minnesota’s College of Design.
Professional background: Full Stack / Graphic Designer, Production Artist and Manager, Marketing & Communications, Technical Support. I’ve successfully done it all.
I’m easy to work with and won’t get flustered by shifting deadlines or revisions.
I love to travel and play ice hockey and disc golf in my spare time (when I’m not out walking my dogs).
