People often ask why I chose graphic design. As a kid, I was always creating in our family craft room, but at seven years old, I couldn’t imagine grown-ups being artists. Every adult I knew wore a suit and worked in an office—how would that ever work with my paints and hot glue gun? Everything changed on a 6th-grade field trip to a local ad agency, where I met a graphic designer for the first time… in an office! Wearing a suit! Making art! I didn’t need any more convincing- I was sold.

I earned a BFA in Graphic Design from the University of Arkansas, where I interned with a range of companies—from global ad agencies to outdoor lifestyle brands. These experiences helped me pinpoint what type of projects I enjoy most: branding, advertising and merchandise design.

Since college, I’ve spent nearly 4 years shaping brands and visualizing ideas through design as an Art Director. I’ve partnered with over 40 clients to help them achieve their business goals while doing what I love most every day—creating!
