Tell us about yourself?
With over a decade of experience in the design field and a Master in Fine Arts in graphic design, I now helps creatives, artists, and designers who want to earn a full-time income from their passion to successfully launch and run their high-end graphic design businesses.
You can find my design work featured in Huffpost, NPR, Expertise, and American Institute of Graphic Arts. I have taught university design while working with countless clients around the world to build their brands and platforms seamlessly.
I am a true creative at heart, and have perfected the branding and web design process for my clients to make it fun, efficient, and effective.
If you could go back in time a year or two, what piece of advice would you give yourself?
I would remind myself that consistency is key and it’s all about the atomic habits for peak performance.
What problem does your business solve?
I help creatives learn how to monetize their skillset as graphic designers so they can work from anywhere in the world.
What is the inspiration behind your business?
I evolved as a freelance designer into an agency while isolated in a cabin in Northern Alaska. I had minimal support or community, and want to help other creatives evolve quicker than I did.
What is your magic sauce?
I am driven by freedom in life and build my business to attract clients, team members and students that relate to my values.
What is the plan for the next 5 years? What do you want to achieve?
I am growing Live Large Collective into a community of creatives that can support one another and share work opportunities.
What is the biggest challenge you’ve faced so far?
COVID changed the course of my international travel and required me to be agile with my life and travels.
How do people get involved/buy into your vision?
I help creatives who are interested in working remotely as graphic designers and want to increase their income, clientele, and impact in the world.
