Like most kids, I enjoyed drawing & painting. When I got to high school my interest turned to pottery. There came a time when those art skills plateaued, so when I discovered graphic design in college it opened up a whole new way to be creative! Majoring in Mass Communications (Advertising/Broadcasting) at Minnesota State University Moorhead, I gravitated toward design in my advertising classes.

This was one of my favorite positions, & I still find it gratifying to see my work around town. That job taught me a lot about working with clients from all types of businesses & made me the well-rounded graphic designer I am today. It also made me an expert in juggling many projects & putting out great work with tight deadlines.
