Between college and working at Seacat Creative, I've had the opportunity to work with a broad range of businesses and organizations on a state and national level. The projects have ranged from helping farmers create a viable product from excess crops to short films that raise awareness on the importance of protecting wild spaces and the animals that inhabit them. As a graphic designer my intention with design is to create systems that are solutions to problems. It is these experiences that have taught me the importance of collaboration and working with others to create effective solutions.
My values and personal obligation is not to succeed on my own, but to advocate and be a voice for the future generations and communities.- Public Lands + Rural Communities. Growing up on a farm, I learned how to grow, catch, and harvest food. I have a deep respect for the land and understand our collective responsibility to maintain it.
- Affordable Housing + Growth Planning. As our community develops, it's important to guide growth through responsible infrastructure and regulation that makes sense economically.
- Job Opportunities + Healthcare. We face the integral challenge of ensuring economic opportunity and financial sustainability for all. I know what it's like to not be able to afford health insurance. It's my goal to create a community where we all have career opportunities that provide affordable healthcare plans-while continuing to live in a place we love.
