How Anoka Inspires My Work — Even When I’m Covered in Sawdust

There’s something grounding about Anoka. The brick buildings. The river. The rhythm of old charm and quiet growth. Living and working here influences everything I create — even when I’m knee-deep in a home project and covered in sawdust. This town reminds me that the best ideas often start small. That good design serves real people. That stories matter.

Whether I’m designing a brand or sanding a piece of trim, I see the overlap: attention to detail, pride in craft, patience in the process. I bring that same mindset into my work with clients — especially those rooted in this community. Because when you care about the place you live, your work reflects that care. And honestly? That’s what keeps me inspired.
