I am truly blessed to get to do something I enjoy every single day, but sort of lucked out in how I got started.

I went to school to run track at Drake University. I hadn't given much thought to what I wanted to do with my career other than I wanted to run professionally after college. And, of course, had the dream of the Olympics in my head. However, I had to declare a major. As I was standing in line waiting to sign up for my first classes I noticed a man at a desk in the corner playing with a new computer. He was showing people something that he was obviously excited about. It was the first version of Photoshop. I left the line I was standing in to ask him what it was. He showed me and told me the world of graphic design was about to change. I instantly knew what I wanted to do, and my passion for it has grown ever since. 

I truly enjoy the whole process of developing a brand and the design that reflects that brand. Getting to know people and their companies. The research and creative thinking behind their brands. It's always different, and always exciting. I truly love it.
