Design Statement
I've got a compassionate heart for others. I am equal parts web design, print design, and branding design. I strive to deliver audience-effective design solutions to be the change the world needs.About Me
I'm a graphic designer in Ann Arbor, Michigan. I graduated in 2004 from the University of Michigan with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Graphic Design and a History of Art Minor. I work at Cybernet Systems Corporation, a small business that specializes in robotic solutions. As Cybernet’s graphic designer, I do everything imaginable from print design to presentation design to 3-d modeling to photography to web design. I also do freelance design. My freelance client base tends to be local, non-profits, or educational focused. I feel I can do the most good when partnering with others who are doing the same.Design Qualifications

What Else
When I’m not designing, I love running, CrossFit, playing the trombone and ukulele, ultimate frisbee, getting dirty in my community garden, and cooking at the community kitchen through Food Gatherers. I like to express myself through sketching, photography and making things with my hands like woodcarving, sewing, and crochet. I follow Michigan football and college basketball. I also love to connect with people, be out in nature, and explore new places. Right now I’m making it a point to visit museums and festivals, especially ones in Detroit. There's so much going on in Detroit, it's so exciting.I'm a dreamer with action.
