In 2007, I started building HTML websites in my bedroom closet, a hobby that eventually grew into IFC Studios. In 2014, I opened our first location in Frederick, Colorado. In 2016, I moved back to Cedar Falls, Iowa, my childhood home. With it came the business, which is finally where I always envisioned it—right on Main Street. With over 100 active clients nationwide, my focus has now turned to fostering a workplace culture that reduces burnout and inspires creativity, while producing meaningful work that gives back to my community.

I have an amazing wife and two kids who make every day worth living and inspire me to work hard. I love cycling, whiskey, chip clips, Sour Patch Kids, and a good concert. My true passion is executing on ideas, taking a dream and creating something real. I am so honored to own a company where I can make that happen every day.

Ella recently graduated from the University of Northern Iowa with a bachelors degree in Graphic Design and minors in marketing, art history, and textiles & apparel. Her diverse experience has given her exposure to many different opportunities including publication design and advertising. She is always ready to turn ideas into imaginative executions. She’s fueled by vanilla lattes and the need to create. When she isn’t working, you’ll find her reading, at a yoga class, or hanging out with friends.

I am a senior design student with a passion for collaborating with small businesses. Over the past several years, I have both designed for and worked within these environments. I am currently pursuing a Bachelor's degree in Graphic Design at the University of Northern Iowa, with minors in Art History and Entrepreneurship.

I value a harmonious marriage of practicality and creative flair in my work and love learning a new thing...or two...or three along the way. In my free time, I enjoy choose-your-own-adventure video games, collect CDs from the last few decades, and play DnD with my friends.
