I grew up in Central Asia in the gorgeous and mountainous country of Kyrgyzstan (great for snowboarding!). Even though it was a lovely country with delightfully hospitable people, it had one flaw, it was host to terrible graphic design. But as I grew up, the design around me began to flourish which spurred me on to learn more and more. As a fast learner, I sprinted through my BS in Graphic Design and entered into the outdoor space working on web design, email, and video with clients like ENO hammocks, Korkers Footwear, and many more.
