I grew up in a very athletic family - my dad played professional football in Finland, and my brother played at USC, and my mom was very athletic as well - but I was the only artist in my family, and it just kind of came naturally to me. I'm really grateful for my parents putting me into art classes at a young age, because not a lot of parents want their children to pursue art as a career. I've always had a passion for art in general, doing studio art, painting, drawing, and ceramics growing up. My art teacher in high school really encouraged me, and so did my parents, to pursue art as a degree. I got a scholarship to Chapman University in Orange County, California, and pursued graphic design for my major. I graduated in 3 years due to the fact that I had a bunch of APs from my high school classes. I've done design and artwork ever since, and now I own my own graphic design business where I craft vision and create art to elevate brands with soul and strategy. I do anything from branding and logo design to corporate flyers, marketing materials, and advertising, as well as social media graphics, banners, and any promotional material - basically anything that requires graphic design. One of my most notable achievements was being the creative director for a golf apparel brand, and I got to work with the Orlando Magic basketball team and design their first line of golf wear, pairing basketball and golf through the company that I was a creative director at.
