About
Before I knew what graphic design was, I was making mood boards, catalogues and floor plans for my mom and dad’s dream home in the Haliburton Highlands. As the kid who loved making things, I always wanted to find a way to turn my creativity into a career. Initially, I was drawn to commerce and biology — until I realized I was far better at organizing ideas than molecules (and much better at spreadsheets than dissecting frogs).
Soon after, I stumbled upon design and felt I found my niche. I graduated from OCAD University in 2014, where I learned that focusing on creativity (and sustainability) was the best way to develop my talent. Early in my career, I was obsessed with food security, which led me to designing food production solutions. Today, I enjoy designing visuals for organizations that are honest, transparent, and focused on doing good.
Outside of work, you’ll find me tinkering on a side project or two, running races (mostly trail), growing veggies, and hanging out with as many dogs as possible.
