My father and I used to play a game in which he drew a dotted circle and I would carefully trace it with my five-year-old hand. Now that I have advanced from tracing circles to creating work on my own, I see that I have truly been a designer my whole life.

Receiving degrees in Graphic Design and Creative Advertising from Drake University provided me with a thorough knowledge of the essentials of visual communication. I have effectively utilized my skills through freelance work for various organizations. A range of design positions have also helped hone my skills as well as teach me some new ones.

I have done a lot, but I still have a lot to learn...and that adventure is just beginning.
