I am a graphic designer and sailing enthusiast known for my amazing ability to keep houseplants alive.

I grew up in Ohio, with a family of five. Not knowing what I wanted to do in life, I was shipped off to college and found my passion for anything art. I fell in love with every artistic discipline I came into contact with. In the summer of my junior year, I decided to spend the summer in California with some friends and never looked back. I eventually ended up at the University of Minnesota Twin Cities and graduated with a Graphic Design major. I scored my first job as a corporate designer, but found myself yearning for more variety. After many informational interviews with design mentors, I started doing freelance work, got a job in an advertising agency, moved to Green Bay Wisconsin, and bought a sailboat.
