Bio
Originally from a small town in Northern Wisconsin, these last five years spent in Milwaukee have been an amazing learning period in my life. I have grown so much as a person and as an artist. I now realize I can be a strong leader with a distinct point of view, an innovative mind and a passion for learning new things. I love all kinds of design…web, graphic, interior, and video along with creative problem solving. My favorite thing about design is the opportunity it gives me to be experimental and diverse. It is a powerful tool that changes the world on a daily basis and I can’t wait to see what we do together.

Platz is a dynamic website that works to inform the public about the current health of Milwaukee neighborhoods.

They are then given the opportunity to volunteer either their time or their funding to see these projects grow from concept to reality.
Mission
To increase social engagement and revitalize the spirit of Milwaukee by decreasing the amount of abandoned buildings, one plot at a time.
Vision
To understand the optimistic spirit of our company and never give up on our mission.
