BACKGROUND
I studied graphic design & product design at the University of Minnesota, graduating in 2019 with a bachelor's degree and a passion for design. I hopped around a couple of Minnesota design agencies before landing at Magenta Creative, where our agile team of four creates strategy-informed design for a variety of clients ranging from B2B to CPG.
Design is about solving problems, but my favorite solutions include illustrative details and vibrant colors. Check out my site for my personal favorites, and Magenta's for a fuller breadth of style that I create with my partners.
