Hello! I am a young graphic designer, photographer, glass blower and a passionate off-road motorcycle racer. Recently, I graduated from Illinois State University for graphic design and photography while interning at Design Streak Studio in Bloomington, IL. I spent a year down in Florida running concerts and corporate events and now I'm pursuing a passion for glass blowing back up north. If your interested in a photo session or have an inquiry about any of my work, feel free to contact me through email or DM me on my Instagram page!
