About
As a graphic designer I've worked on projects for Philmont Scout Ranch, Chase Ranch, WIU (Western Illinois University), and the Tri-States Public Radio. I've created museum exhibits, mantained the former website for New Song Community Church, and designed a new logo for the MCCF (McDonough County Community Foundation).
I also love learning about things like how the Siberian Ice Maiden got her ancient tattoos? What did Etruscan music really sound like? Is Sporalogy the new Astrology? Who invented Russian ovens and is a degree in Canadian Studies really worth it? -
