Recently, I transitioned my freelance business into a different arena. I appreciate all the support and encouragement I have received from clients past & present, and with that, I've started a new company with a longtime business partner, Martin Olson. Together, we have formed a new studio, Kilo. We still are catering to our current client base, as well as taking on new work.
To view my personal portfolio, close this window. To find out more about my new venture, check out Kilo.
