Hey, it’s Arin!

I am a proud graduate of Winona State University, where I earned a BA in Graphic Design with a concentration in Business and Marketing, and a minor in Adventure Education. During my time at university, I worked for the WSU content team, managing social accounts and assisting with content creation. Besides my love for content creation, and art & design, I have a passion for adventure & travel. My love for exploring with friends led to my minor in Adventure Education, where I gained skills for facilitating and leading adventure-related activities. Because of this minor I developed so many new hobbies that consume my free time such as indoor and outdoor rock climbing and hiking. I also love spending time outdoors simply long-boarding or hammocking. My adventurous spirit has led me to get to experience new places with friends and family, like Moab UT, Mexico, and Germany.
