About

I am a twenty-three year old living in northwest Ohio. With a strong family background in printing and design, it became natural at an early age to merge the two fields together. I have been doing design work since I was in the sixth grade. Teaching myself the necessary software, I created graphics for an online gaming company located in England and played by people all over the world. At that point, I became hooked on graphic design and continued learning everything I could to further my talent. While living in California, I took an elective class in digital media and worked on Apple systems where I helped create videos for the daily high school news show. I also put website development on my plate, and learned that in the evenings. Upon returning to Ohio, I enrolled in Vantage Career Center’s Digital Media program and got hired at a local sign and screen printing shop. After high school, I went on to take classes at Rhodes State College. During that time and into the present, I continue to take classes online to learn more about digital media and specific software.

Along with working at Creative Designs and Signs, I have maintained a freelance business working directly with clients for over six years. I provide many design services, such as creating logos, business cards, stationary, direct mailings, billboard design, newspaper ads, and of course websites!

I am a member of two professional organizations focused on design, American Institute of Graphic Arts (AIGA), and the Graphic Artists Guild (GAG). I read and contribute to various design blogs and websites in my spare time and like to talk with other likeminded people about their passions and projects.

I have many hobbies, of which I like to do with friends, family, or even complete strangers. I like fixing and playing with old electronics, dabbling in electronic music creation, going on road trips, finding a great cup of tea, drawing and painting, reading books, making electronic music, documenting my life with cameras, and the occasional night on the town.
