Hi, I'm Helen! Thanks for visiting my site! Rural Route MN isn't just my brand name; it's more than that -- it's my life. I'm a small-town girl with big ideas. I believe inspiration can be found anywhere, from a prairie drive to an evening with my kids. Along my route, I've developed a unique style and embraced emerging trends in design. I'm a passionate storyteller who will use my expertise to bring your vision to life.
My insatiable love of art began at a young age. I pursued visual arts in high school at the Perpich Center for Arts Education in Golden Valley, Minnesota. I studied photography after graduation at Minneapolis College of Art and Design (MCAD). I graduated from South Central College with a degree in AAS Commercial Arts and Minnesota State University, Mankato, a BFA in Graphic Design, and a minor in Illustration.
Professionally, I'm a Creative Director at APX Construction Group, and I have been accepted into the Doctorate in Education and Technology program at Minnesota State University, Winona. I am also taking on several freelance clients and serving as the Marketing and Communications Director on the Old Town Day of the Dead Committee. My services include re-branding consulting and art direction. I invite you to explore my work, and I look forward to collaborating with you.
