About Me

I’m a junior designer and art director from Toronto.

I’ve been a curious individual ever since I was a kid – always asking why and how things worked. Pair that with an eye for the aesthetic and you get
someone who can bring ideas to life – just give me five minutes. I’m driven to create the best possible product and accomplish the task at hand. I can bring people together and
lead a direction using excellent communication skills.  I have a strong foundation in core design principles, and I’m excited to contribute my skills to projects that matter.

When I’m not doing work, I’m always looking to learn.
You can catch me getting lost in a book or falling through the rabbit hole of Wikipedia looking random things up.
