After graduating from the Graphic Designer program at Iowa State University, I moved to Minneapolis to work as a Creative Intern at Fame, then got hired at Greer and Associates and later Carlson Marketing. Although I keep very busy at work, I freelance on the side and take classes at night at MCAD. I've fallen in love with Pattern and Product Design and would eventually like to get a job doing what I love the most.
