My journey to a design career has been a long and winding one. Always drawing as a child, I loved traditional art mediums of charcoal and soft pastel but never considered what kind of career I could do with it. I ended up doing hair for 13 years, which fulfilled my creative cup for a time. I have a bachelors in Graphic Design from 2012 that I completed at Doane University in Lincoln, NE. I ended up moving to Madison soon after and fell in love with a salon and continued to stay in hair for another 5 years. I finally made the jump to go back to school to refresh skills and gain new ones in the web & digital media design program. Being able to design within the digital screen and with my hands using procreate to bring it all together has felt amazing to finally find a path that I desire. Watching ideas change and grow over time to become the final product is such a fun experience.
