Charlee is no stranger to DTSF. After graduating from the University of South Dakota with a bachelor’s degree in Fine Arts and an emphasis in Photography, she jumped right into the downtown Sioux Falls scene, working as a wholesale production manager at Sticks and Steel in the 8th & Railroad Center. When not spending time downtown, Charlee can be found adventuring in the Black Hills near her hometown of Rapid City, SD, probably drinking coffee, and listening to true crime podcasts. In joining the DTSF team in August 2022, she is excited to utilize her background in photography, and content creation to showcase the stories of members and the DTSF community.
Charlee’s Favorite Downtown Memory
“When I was growing up, taking a trip to the ‘big city’ was always a real treat! On my first visit to downtown Sioux Falls, my mom took my sister and me on the sculpture walk. We took time posing next to all the cool sculptures, but young Charlee took a particular liking to Charlotte the pig. All the photos from our little photoshoot were accidentally erased. But somehow, young Charlee and Charlotte were saved on the camera.”
