I Graduated from the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point in 1997. Worked as an ad designer and illustrator for a weekly newspaper called City Pages. Learned how to make a website and was hired at Alpha Web design as a web designer. After that company closed, I worked part-time at the Boys and Girls Club as their Arts Coordinator in the evenings and during the day, I worked as a graphic designer and web designer for The Ad Company. Eventually I was hired with the Ad Comapny full-time and left the Boys and Girls Club. In 2005 I left the Ad Company to start my own business - Art Village.

Art Village was a multi-disciplined art studio that provided professional studio space and equipment for artists. We offered classes, studio work space, a consignment gallery, and a paint-your-own-pottery studio.

In January I closed Art Village and began working more hours as the Marketing and Communications specialist at Brokaw Credit Union which where I am currently employed as well as doing freelance design and making art.
