Designer at DaySpring Cards
Fayetteville, Arkansas Area
I have spent many years deeply interested and involved in all things creative, breadth is one of my favorite aspects of this profession. I love the challenge and thrill of taking on fresh, new things, may they be design, music, or whatever "realm" I have the opportunity to play in.
I take my work very seriously, but try not to take myself too seriously from day to day. I see creative pursuits as of course having moments of almost magical inspiration and creative spark, but also lots and lots (and lots) of diligent work and development and determination.
My goals are to keep growing, keep learning, to keep moving forward.
