What I’m all about

I am a passionate creator who views life as a series of opportunities to explore new ideas and construct innovative ways of communicating those ideas. I live to express myself, and I express myself as a way of life, whether it be through visual art, design, animation, or music. I have a lifelong hunger to learn and evolve as well as to help the evolution of the world and society around me. On top of my own art, I love taking other people's ideas and helping to amplify them to the attention-grabbing levels they deserve. There's a world of ideas, imagery, and sounds out there, and I want to explore the frontiers of that world.

I worked for 10-plus years as the Head Graphic Designer for Black Market Vintage, one of Toronto's most beloved vintage clothing stores. I was responsible for designing some of the store's best-selling t-shirt prints, as well as signage and advertisements. I feel proud to say that I add much of myself to an icon of Toronto's style and culture.

I have recently completed a 2-year course at Seneca college for Interactive Media Design, where I learned a great deal and excelled at graphic design, motion design, video editing, digital art, and UI/UX, as well as graduating with high honours. After finishing school I interned for several months at Semper8 International Ltd. Media Group where I created eye-catching graphics to convey scenes from their film and television treatments for use in look-books, posters, and other promotional materials.

I look forward to bringing my passion, drive, and skills to your project or team.
