Some of the most rewarding journeys in life are those that lead us down a winding road of varied experiences. My journey to website, print, and digital design came from a seed that was planted years ago, drawing by hand in high school art class. And though the winds of change have blown that seed from design, to business, and back again, I've learned and grown greatly from every place I have landed along the way. My experiences have helped shape me, and I am grateful for them.
I believe that the most effective design comes from knowing the subject matter behind it intimately, as well as an unending drive and desire to learn more about one's own craft and the people that craft is aimed at serving. I acknowledge that in a field as deep as design I will never be able to claim that I "have arrived" and therefore have nothing left to learn and improve on, but I wouldn't have it any other way. Growth is a process, and I am excited for what lies on the road ahead.
