I think I was always going to become a designer.

I wanted to be an artist, like my dad, from the time I was three. I decorated the house with banners for every family birthday and holiday, and when I started designing ads for the yearbook, I fell in love with the craft. Growing up in my parents’ art shop taught me something that still shapes how I work today: creativity and business can make each other better. Nearly 20 years later, I still love turning ideas into work that connects, communicates and makes a difference.

Maybe I always knew.
