Born and raised in Hesston, Kansas, I made my way to the Pacific Northwest after college to kick off my design career. I cut my teeth as a freelance illustrator and designer, learning the ropes through hands-on experience. Later, while working in sales and marketing at Stumptown Coffee Roasters, I realized—this is what I’m meant to do. My time at Schoolhouse only deepened that conviction and sharpened my creative drive.
