Location: Milwaukee, WI
About me: I am a graphic designer and student by day and a home owner by night and weekend. If not educating, working, or freelancing, I spend most of my free time doing basic repairs and upkeep while helping friends and strangers repair and upkeep their home to finance more of my own home projects.
