Growing up in the midwest between two brothers made me a competitive individual. We got into action sports as well as traditional. Through those experiences it taught me to be independent as well as a team player. That is how my work ethic is with design. It fits me so well with my creative thought. When someone tells me about their brand, logo ideas come flying. I also really enjoy being meticulous with page layout or free styling with apparel tech packs. I love to collaborate with other creatives but it doesn't happen often working on my own clients from home. I am looking to spend my time working in a cool, creative space with others to be fully involved!

Package Designer

Worked directly with the owners and designers to create dirt bike graphics kits for retail customers. A typical day would be checking emails and receiving orders to customize per request of the customer. Then I would use adobe illustrator to bring their vision to life.
