I am currently attending Minneapolis College of Art And Design to study Graphic Design. I hail from Apple Valley, Minnesota, but currently live in Minneapolis.
I explore the minute detail and architecture of nature through graphic design, macro photography, and other digital mediums and programs such as Photoshop and InDesign. Through photography I can capture an idea and then build upon them using various design elements. These ideas and elements are drawn from the world around me and the experiences I have had, be it the places I have traveled or people I meet. Heavy influences in my work are prairie style architecture and Bauhaus aesthetics, along with contemporary architecture and environmentalism. I also draw inspiration from various peculiarities of nature, such as weird geological formations for simple flora and fauna.
I hope to use the skills I am gaining through my studies at MCAD to allow me to better articulate my ideas and to explore career fields in design. Recent explorations have included typography and its structure, and the relationships of gender, race, and class.
Besides art, I have experience in saving unfortunate souls with lifegaurding and providing thrills being a Ride Operator Team Lead at Valleyfair. SuperBumperTide '14 + '15
