Hello! Nice to meet you and thanks for visiting my page! As long as I can remember, I wanted to be an artist and have a career doing

meaningful work, helping people, and having the freedom and flexibility to do what I love and keep learning. I have a great passion for learning—whether it’s meeting new people, traveling and experiencing other cultures, food, and landscapes, reading, trying new recipes, or figuring out new skills. It’s often hard to separate work from play because all of it is my life; I call it the “art of living”. I enjoy a good challenge and friendly competition—sports (softball, cycling, pool, ping pong, tennis, etc) or mental stimulation by learning new skills and concepts such as web development, 3D modeling, hydroponics & gardening, and woodworking. I value the documentation of these experiences to find the essence in the learning experience and share and teach it to others. My YouTube channel which I started in 2011 has grown to over 400 videos and 26K subscribers. I have also adjunct taught a couple of college-level classes, Interactive Design & Advanced Photoshop, at my alma mater, Missouri Western State University. After graduating summa cm laude with a BFA in Graphic Design during the recession (’09), I landed a position at a small advertising agency, the Minnow Project in Lincoln, NE, where I gained a foundation of seven years experience and the opportunity to practice design, learn the creative process and communicate my ideas to account managers and clients. In 2010, I accepted the challenge to learn web development which dramatically helped our team and gave me the experience I needed to establish my own business. I’m so grateful for that opportunity and for putting in the effort at a key point in my life. Since 2016, I’ve been operating fully out of my home studio and offering an array of professional services, primarily design and development. It’s a welcoming space where clients become partners and friends who share their expertise with me, so I can craft beautiful, smart, and memorable brands that deliver clear messages to your audience.

Here’s an example of the difference that designing with intention and a clear purpose and goal makes.

Before: relatively easy-to-scan, digestible content with clear call-to-action buttons.

After: rich, high-quality photos that create a strong sense of the museum, plus a clear visual hierarchy and organization using space, layout, structure, typography, shape, and color. There are primary calls to action supported by secondary links.

The content is more thorough now, too. A website should function like a system—one that grows and adapts over time. Building in phases lets us focus where it matters now and improve the rest as needed later.

Nice work. 👏

Love it or hate it — here’s the transitional design for the 2034 Olympics & Paralympics, to be hosted in Salt Lake City, Utah.

Personally, I think it’s original, memorable, and great — a communication that feels both ancient and modern.

When I think of Utah, I think of its uniquely carved landscapes, arches, and balancing hoodoos. The logo has a sense of movement, reflecting the athletes in competition and their well-trained bodies. There’s impact in its boldness, balance in the positive and negative space through its shapes, a flow through open areas, and tension held in the narrow gaps between forms — all while remaining organized and contained within a formal grid structure. The letterform shapes also remind me of cuneiform writing and glyphs carved into stones and tablets in early civilizations. After all, the first recorded Olympic Games were held in Olympia, Greece, in 776 B.C.

Here’s an interview snippet I found from the Lead Designer that confirms many of my impressions and observations:

"...The more you know about the meaning of the design, the more you connect with it." –Molly Mazzolini

I challenge the people who hate it to come up with examples they think are better — and then post them online for debate. This is more memorable than simply typing out UTAH in a modern sans-serif like many modern logos.

As a designer, you’ll always face strong subjective criticism and polarizing opinions, whether you’re attempting to be bold or think you’re playing it safe. It’s a tough position to be in as a human and as a creator. We are all creators. It takes courage to become a public one.
