About Me
Big fan of creating, problem-solving, and making in general. First Wanted to be a lawyer, ended up a designer with an extra political science degree. Born and raised in the Pacific Northwest, went to school at the University of Washington.
When I'm not designing, I'm writing, reading, exploring the outdoors, or yelling (positively) at a sporting event on my TV.
