Born, raised in Minnesota.
I graduated with a B.A. in History from the University of Minnesota, however I always wanted to learn graphic design. So, after completing my B.A. I decided to learn through websites, books and YouTube, staying up late at night after my 9-5, grinding just to get a little bit better.
As a kid I always loved sports logos and identity, so it was fitting that I would start with designing sports logos. From there I moved into a variety of print and digital projects working primarily with sports teams, startups and small businesses.
In my endless curiosity, I dabbled in e-commerce and business. I established a drop shipping business selling original designs on shirts and in the process learned that drive and passion makes it easier to work with five hours of sleep. In that time I learned so much. Things that were so foreign to me: ROI, conversion rates, click-through rates, other fun analytics, social media marketing with Facebook Pixel, Mail Chimp email marketing, ad creation, SEO, copy… all became a part of my every day life. And I enjoyed every single minute! There was design… marketing… strategy… but not enough hours in the day.
1 dog and 2 sons later… I’m still here. And I’m still trying to solve creative problems as creatively possible.
