I’m a graphic designer and data scientist based in Missoula, Montana.

Likes: My furry kids, laughter, my Kindle, coffee, and cupcakes.

Dislikes: Procrastination, mushrooms, IPA’s, and doing dishes,

I Spend my Free Time:
Baking with my sourdough starter, cutting up fabric and sewing it back together to make quilts, and trying to figure out what trout like to eat.

We Would Get Along If:
You think that your already pretty-great life is better when shared with awesome people and you don’t mind dog hair that sticks to everything but the dog.

 

I design, develop, manage, create, market, brand and strategize.

I am a graphic/digital designer turned data scientist.
