Born and raised in the Midwest, I love the cool summer lake breeze and cozy coffee shops in the fall. You can find me adventuring in Chicago and dreaming of the future with my country-born husband in our small-town home with a big backyard. I grew up loving pads of paper, scrapbooking, and any kind of pen or marker I could get my hands on. This grew into a passion for typography, layout, publication design, and identity design.
