D e s i g n i s m o r ethan a career for me. it’s more than a hobby. it’s nothing short of a passion. The passion to constantly learn and grow. The passion to help people do something they can’t do on their own. it’s a drive to surround myself with people doing it bigger and better
thanhow i’m doing it right now. it’s the balance of never being satisfied, and knowing when a project is done. Design, at some point or another, is the realization that all my planning, sketches, drafts
and research, has produced nothing more than a bunch of
pretty pictures,
and i’m okay with that.

g r a p h i c D e s i g nwasn’t even on my radar when i went in to college. While i can’t remember who initially asked if i knew photoshop, i can remember saying yes, and then scrambling around online finding tutorials to
learn the program. a couple years later i helped with a
ViDeo proDuctionon campus and found i had a natural eye for composition and lighting. The next few years were spent developing both talents any way i could. it wasn’t until i was almost burnt out with both
of them that i picked up a camera and fell in love with
photography.

Whether it’s a website, marketing campaign, wedding invitation, or a design consultation, i approach every project with extreme detail and dedication. i am honored that many small businesses have trusted me with their corporate identity, and that many of my clients are now dear friends. it’s from those relationships that i got into this industry, and it’s through those relationships that i’m successful in it. this spreaD:

photography began as a hobby of mine while i was in college. When i sharted taking formal portraits a couple years ago (1) i began mastering the re-touch-ing process, as the desired image is often different than the original (2). it wasn't until one of my shots was picked up by Destination D.c. (3) that i began marketing my skills, and opened my door to wed-dings (4). since then, i have been hired through-out milwaukee to cover a variety of events (5), and studio sessions for local actors (6). regardless of where i'm shooting, it never feels like work when i'm behind the camera.
