Hi, I'm Charlie (they/them)! 

I’m a Minnesota-based web/graphic designer and veggie farmer with a decade of communications experience under my belt and an enthusiasm for building a better world.
I make useful things.

I build websites.

I grow food.
I offer custom site builds and ongoing web support/maintenance for organizations of any size.

The sites I build are beautiful, functional, and incorporate custom-built interactive features to fit your needs.
  • Specialization in Squarespace (custom CSS) and Wordpress
I have a decade of experience laying out complex information into simple, digestible, and beautiful formats.

I  support organizations with everything from annual report layout to custom illustration and branding.
I'm interested in capturing color, composition, and feeling and often bundle photography services for my web/graphic clients.

I shoot digitally on a mirrorless Sony a6000 and shoot film on a Canon EOS.
I'm fascinated by lacto-fermentation and teach folk school classes to share the magic with others.

I have a personal fermentation practice that includes sourdough, hard cider, and curtido.
Magic Acre Farm is a permaculture land project & CSA, producing more-than-organic veggies, flowers, and chicken eggs from our land trust home in South Mpls. 

Our capacity changes each year, but we are currently not accepting new CSA members.
I make all kinds of 2D things and especially find myself drawn to color and texture.

You can find a collection of my paintings, quilts, ceramics, and mosaics housed below.
