Growing up in the Twin Cities area, Tristan came to Duluth to pursue his Graphic Design Degree. He has been quite involved with his community and the campus as well.
Tristan was involved in school extracurricular activities as well as being the President of the Student Design Organization. He has had 4 entries into the UMD Annual Student Exhibition galleries including a merit award for his piece The Past Bound Together.
When he isn't working on projects, he enjoys hiking the North Shore, photography, spinning records, reading, and video games which all inspire his design. His family and his cat Sam is what inspires him most everyday to move forward.
