With an academic
background in geography and graphic + web design, my first (and forever) design love came in
the form of maps, data viz and urban design. Nowadays, extra nerdy design projects
excite me: I love figuring out how a user will experience a brand identity,
website, publication or campaign. Currently creating stuff at Colle McVoy and
10 Thousand Design. Balanced out by skiing (the uphill kind), daydreaming about sustainable
transportation, and hunting for the best tiramisu in Minneapolis.
