LIME
PRINCIPLE, CREATIVE DIRECTOR
Salt Lake City, UT
2026 – Present

Small businesses need great design to compete, but many agencies are too expensive or structured for bigger companies.

That’s why I started Lime as a lean, independent studio, to deliver high-quality brand and digital design with less overhead, and a more accessible path to standout work.
