I was born on July 25, 1994, to veterinarians and David and Vicki Datt near Pasadena, California. In 2002, my family moved to Hudson, Wisconsin, where my parents bought the Croix Valley Veterinary Hospital. I went to school in Hudson, where my passion for drawing and art was developed in the High School’s excellent art program. I graduated after completing the AP Studio Art class and featuring in the school’s art show.

I then enrolled at the University of Wisconsin - Stout, with a major in Graphic Design. I graduated in December of 2017 with a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in Graphic Design. After graduating I took a job at Farrell Equipment & Supply, and came to head the print marketing for the company’s various locations, before leaving to work as a freelance Graphic Designer & Artist for several years. More recently I have taken a position designing large-format promotional products at Showdown Displays.
