I grew up in one of the largest cities in Montana, which is not saying much. As a kid, my thoughts were occupied with design everywhere and I dreamed in photos yet to be taken, art yet to be made, and textures I had yet to touch. I uncovered my passion for graphic design and technology in college but my love for photojournalism blossomed during my flagship trip to Europe in the 90s. From that point on, I was all in. I’m always hopeful [and grateful!] for the luxury of time to dig into a destination and gain understanding and insight into the culture.

I love collaborating with other photojournalists worldwide and experimenting with uncommon perspectives in all things visual.

I find graphic design inspiration all around me. I love the places and spaces that most people don’t give a second glance. I see graphic patterns in masses of electrical wire which I may turn into a wallpaper design. I’m very attracted to street art and see it’s graphic potential for so many design and textile projects. I try to take the time to really look at things and spaces. When I do, I all see beauty everywhere ... in the environment as well as in the people I fall in love with all around the world.
