I'm a recent graduate of Finlandia University, looking to go out and make my mark in the design community. I spent a lot of time in school working on furniture and furniture related products. I've worked with real clients in my community and have businesses with my designs in use. I've worked a lot with reuse and green design. This style of designing is my preference, but am willing to work in other areas.
