Building a Brand Studio for Fairbanks
Known as the remote Gateway to the North, Fairbanks has unique challenges when it comes to forward-thinking design. Being a community-driven town, locals prefer to support a plethora of flourishing small businesses vs. larger chains and corporations. I noticed much of the design was outdated, making these important local spots also feel behind and overlooked.
Fortunately, I've had the privilege to work with two of the most creative and talented Alaskans I've ever met. Together we started Fairbanks Brand Studio, a multidisciplinary agency that focuses on modernizing brands and strengthening the community, introducing cutting edge design to a place that needed it.
The result of this teamwork was an adaptable brand studio full of life and a team equipped with the resources and confidence to get to know the amazing people of Fairbanks and push their brands forward.

hi, hello
Design and illustration tell a story. That's why I love doing what I do. These stories not only create a lasting impact; they make our world a better and more beautiful place.
Born and raised on a fruit farm in Grand Rapids, Michigan, I brought my work to the rugged beauty of Fairbanks, Alaska in January 2018. There I met two like-minded creatives, and together we joined forces to build a much-needed agency for the community: Fairbanks Brand Studio. In the summer of 2021, I took this experience back home with me, where I design remotely across Michigan and out of state.
While look back fondly on my time in Alaska, my love for design, people, and curiosity continues to thrive here. I enjoy picking the apples behind our house, a good Petosky stone hunt, and a rustic weekend up north with my partner, Mark, and our chocolate lab, Scout.
I am thankful for all of the experiences that have made me who I am. I think meaningful design is inspired by a bit of adventure—For me, it begins with fresh air, good company, and a pinch of whimsy.
