I proudly hail from the very cold Minneapolis, Minnesota. I was born into a family so passionate about an obscure sport that it follows me to this day… cycling. This meant that a lot of my adolescence was spent riding around in the cold with a bunch of old guys in spandex, and that's still how I spend many Sunday mornings.

While my love for design has evolved from a lifelong interest in art and creating. In my first year at CU Boulder, I was studying environmental design and fell for design, but quickly realized that what I was really drawn to was graphic design (not a major at CU Boulder). Little did I know this realization would send me on a quest through the Spanish, Advertising, Fine Arts, and Communications departments, and eventually into a jam-packed car on my way to SCAD Atlanta to race for their cycling team and finally study graphic design. 

What inspires me about bikes and design is their power to build connections and strengthen community. I love design when it's concept-driven, explores physical methods and media, and supports people and communities.
