Hi, I'm a designer, illustrator, educator, and artist based in Minnesota.

I enjoy many hobbies: cats, gardening, and book making. But if I had to guess, you're visiting this site because you want to know me professionally. For that, here's a little bit about my education and experiences:

After graduating from Alexandria College (ATCC) in 2017, I went on to get my Bachelor's Degree from Bemidji State University with triple emphasis in exhibit design, graphic design, and studio arts. I graduated from the Minneapolis College of Art and Design in the spring of 2022 with my Master of Fine Arts degree.

I've worked for exhibition companies such as Impact-XM, 3D Exhibits, and Star Exhibits -- some freelance, some internships. At these companies, I worked with brands like RXBAR, John Deere, and Kahoot!.

Being a proud member of the freelance design community since 2019 has allowed me to work with brands like With the Wind Winery, Raw Natural Products, Target, Mercedes-Benz USA, and the Minnesota Center of Excellence, to name a few.

After working as an experience designer at X-FCTR, an agency that focuses on consumer engagement through both digital and live brand activations, I decided to pursue a career in higher education at my alma mater: Alexandria College in the fall of 2023.

This teaching experience has not stopped me from continuing to freelance, and it has allowed me to pursue research in design education. Most recently, my colleague and I spoke at the 2025 AIGA Design Educators Community's annual conference on our phased model framework.
