EXPERIENCE

After graduation, I worked in-house at Marshalltown Company as a graphic designer before moving to Downtown Des Moines and switching jobs.

I currently work at Hatch DSM, a design and advertising firm in West Des Moines, where I help bring brands to life through web design, print applications, and branding projects.

MAKING THINGS

In addition to my full-time role, I take on freelance projects like logo design, photography, and custom branding. I also design casual streetwear in my free time, crafting each piece from 100% cotton fabric with high-quality heat transfer vinyl (HTV). Everything is made in my 400 sq. ft. studio apartment in downtown Des Moines, with my dog, Professor Wigglebottom, serving as my trusted quality control expert.

My designs focus on positivity and personal growth, giving me a creative outlet and a way to connect with others while navigating my own challenges. Thank you for supporting my work! Whether you purchase, share with friends, or leave a review, it all means the world to me!

FAQ's

Yes! When cared for properly, HTV designs are long-lasting and resistant to cracking or peeling. I use high-quality materials and press each design carefully for maximum durability.
