about me
Hey there! Welcome to my portfolio website. I would love for you to get to know me a little better and discover how my passions inspire the work I do.
EDUCATION & EXPERIENCES
I am a graduate from the University of North Dakota with a B.S. in Graphic Design Technology and a B.A. in Communication along with a minor in Graphic Design. I also had the opportunity to study abroad with Semester at Sea during Spring 2020 where I took courses on a ship and sailed across the world, stopping at different ports.
In life and my career, I love being a team leader, solving problems, taking action, listening to and helping others, being innovative, and continually working to improve myself while spreading positivity.
MY ROOTS
I grew up on a farm in a small town in southeast North Dakota. Since I was young, I have developed a strong passion for working hard and appreciating the little things in life.
I currently reside in south Florida where I love to enjoy anything outdoors — new restaurants, volleyball, basketball, running, kayaking, hiking, scuba diving, competing in HYROX, relaxing at the beach and anything on and in the water!
WHAT INSPIRES ME
Now that you know a little about me, I want to share what truly inspires me.
I’m a hard worker, a curious creative, and someone who finds inspiration in the people and experiences around me. Traveling has fueled my appreciation for culture and continues to teach me to look beyond the surface to understand what makes a place, tradition, or person unique. I believe there is so much beauty in our differences, and every new perspective has something to teach us.
I’m drawn to new places, unexpected experiences, and anything that sparks curiosity. They give me endless visual inspiration that I bring into my design work. Fun fact: underwater exploration is one of my favorite sources of inspiration. There’s something about discovering an entirely different world beneath the surface that reminds me to draw inspiration from nature's design and to view things from a new perspective.
THE JOY OF CREATING
Design has been a part of me for as long as I can remember. I’m naturally curious, creative, and a problem-solver who loves turning ideas into meaningful, visually engaging experiences.
I’m detail-oriented while always keeping the bigger picture in mind. I thrive on collaboration, new perspectives, and creative challenges. I’m always looking for ways to learn, grow, and push my work further.
I don’t see design as simply a job—it’s something that genuinely fulfills me. Creating brings me a sense of joy and purpose, and I feel incredibly lucky to have built a career around something I’m truly passionate about.
