I grew up on ranches with my folks and one younger sister in Central Montana. I always wanted to be an artist and soon discovered this thing called Graphic Design. After graduating high school, I threw all my eggs in one basket and started the rigorous graphic design program at Montana State University – Bozeman. Luckily, they deemed me a suitable graduate, allowed me into the upper level of the program and soon handed me my BFA-Graphic Design degree.
After college I worked for the American Prairie Foundation as a Graphics Intern, doing design for events and fundraising purposes. I then moved on to doing Marketing & Graphics for Keller Williams Montana Real Estate, and pursued my freelance work more vigorously. I eventually took the leap into becoming entirely freelance, and am thoroughly enjoying it.
My experience in design is widespread - I’ve designed book covers, business cards, motorcycle bumper stickers, bison counting websites, interactive banner ads, twitter backgrounds, magazines, and catalogues. Just to name a few. I’ve also been a “hired gun” for design studios and newspapers. They called me when their workload was overflowing, and I got to save the day! I love the feeling of starting with a blank slate and then delivering a polished, original product to clients. I am resourceful, a quick-learner, and hard working.
Through the wonder of the internet, I can easily serve clientele all over, but my strongest client bases are in Santa Rosa, CA and Bozeman, MT. Please contact me with whatever is on your mind.
