Some of my earliest memories involve me and my uncle lying on the floor while he taught me how to draw. This influence has had a lifelong impact on the trajectory of my career and personal life. As an adolescent, I found myself spending my time diving into the world of Photoshop and teaching myself the ins and outs of the software. Unfortunately, this was back in the dark ages before we could all access YouTube university. There was a lot of trial and error involved in this process, but that was half the fun. This led me to design posters for local musicians, and eventually to study graphic design and printmaking at the University of Northern Iowa. In my free time, you’ll find me traveling, spending time outdoors with my family, and probably digging through antique stores for design ephemera.
