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.
