After graduating from the Minneapolis College of Art & Design in 2003, I began as a full time Designer at Knock design agency in Minneapolis, in charge of veritable projects including print, motion and interactive. I also was in charge of photo art direction and presenting to clients. After 2 years I moved to a Design and Art Direction role at Target. Working mostly in interactive, I had a chance to work on developing campaigns for Target.com, as well as expanding projects within the Target brand on social media networks (facebook, myspace, twitter, youtube, etc.)
I am very interested in multi channel programs maintaing the look and feel of a project throughout print, motion & interactive. I am very passionate about Design & aesthetics in general. I have experience creating custom typefaces, photography, & screen printing. As well as design I enjoy creating music, and have done some work licensing audio soundtracks, including Aveda, Target & Chrysler. Aside from creating audio for brand use, I operate and co-own the record label Doomtree, and act as head creative director.
