ABOUT

As far back as I can remember, I've been the "art kid" in my family. Growing up in the Midwest, I thought I'd end up in a big city on a coast if I wanted to be successful. As it would turn out, I'm surrounded by a successful design community in so many of the places I've always called home.

Born and raised across Michigan, I came to Fort Wayne to pursue the animation career I'd always dreamed about. Over the course of my education at the University of Saint Francis, I realized that my skills are best fit to the marriage of animation and design: Motion Graphics. This discipline allows me to pull from every part of my favorite creative skills—animation, design, layout, photography, video and audio editing—and combine them to make something entirely new.

Professionally and personally, I'll always be that "art kid." I'm so grateful that it has led me along this path of exploring the depths of design and intention behind everything we come into contact with—books, movies, podcasts, even how flags are designed. I use my skills to bring clarity to confusing concepts, organize chaotic ideas, and beautify knowledge so it's accessible and engaging.
