Austin moved to Bentonville in 2004, where he grew up, playing games, watching movies, and making art with his family. He has had an interest in photography since he was a kid so, when he saw there was an opportunity to learn photography and digital design through his high school, he jumped on the opportunity. While there he discovered his passion for graphic design and how it goes hand-in-hand with photography. He learned his skills there and is excited to put those skills to use here at the Traverse Group.
