Sturgeon Bay, WI, USA
In my work experience I have developed a great understanding of people. Whether its working with co-workers or trying to meet the needs of a client, I get people.

My clever/humorous point of view and my love of copy writing offers a unique take on design. I am very invested in developing concepts and writing copy. Understanding clients and research is an important part of my design processes. Designer, writer, conceptualizer, I do it all.
