I have always been fascinated with the world of design and technology. From the moment I could get my hands on a computer, I was using it to find new ways to push my creativity. I learned many different types of programs, from music DAWs to CAD drafting, and developed an ability to pick up on new programs easily and quickly. By the time I completed high school, I had a thorough grasp on the Adobe Suite, Microsoft Office Suite, and extensive experience with many other programs. After graduating as an honor roll student, I earned my certification as an AutoCAD certified professional, and pursued a BSc. in Architecture. After three years of school, I found that architecture wasn’t quite the right fit for me, and switched gears into product design. I started freelance work for local businesses. Everything that wasn’t covered in school, I self-taught.

Later, I worked at a local sign shop. There, I wore many hats and learned a lot about the print and production process for a lot of different products, including store signage, vehicle decals, advertising posters, and stickers. I learned skills in areas relevant to design, like client service, sales, product installation, and basic admin and shop tasks, as well as working in a team.
