I'm a web designer, motion designer, and photographer based in Fergus Falls, working at the intersection of art and technology. Alongside my creative practice, I serve as the Administrative and Program Manager at Lake Region Arts Council and as Communications Lead for the Fergus Falls Public Arts Commission.
Most creative and organizational teams face the same problem: a website that doesn't reflect the quality of the work behind it, or a body of work that's hard for people to browse, understand, or act on. I build websites and visual systems that solve that, sites that load fast, communicate clearly, and turn visitors into inquiries, whether that's a client booking a service, a buyer purchasing a piece, or a funder understanding a program.
I also produce digital twins using Gaussian splat photogrammetry, 3D, walkable scans of physical objects and spaces. It's a practical tool for archiving, virtual exhibition, remote sales, or documentation, useful for artists, cultural sites, and organizations alike.
My background spans over 10 years in creative services, marketing, and communications, agency, in-house, and freelance, as a strategist, photographer, producer, editor, and designer across web, graphics, and motion. I've been a certified commercial drone operator since 2017 and work extensively in Blender 3D for animation and photorealistic rendering.
I mentor emerging creatives through Nice Moves MN, a Minnesota motion design network where I serve on the board, and through ADPList.org, focused on interactive and web design globally.
