Every year the Arizona Daily Star recognizes 40 individuals under the age of 40 who are making significant achievements and contributions to their profession and the Tucson community. This year I was nominated, along with 250 others who are doing great things for this city, and today I’m proud to say I made the list!
Being chosen for this 40 Under 40 award is truly an honor and I’m happy my work with Creative Slice and the design community of Tucson has made a difference.
