PRAIRIE KID WITH BIG DREAMS
Started with paintings, now worKing with international brands.
I was born and raised in heart of Alberta. You know, that part of Canada with all the cowboys and oil. There wasn't much to do, so overall we were left to figure out how to make our own fun. For me, that was largely discovering my ability to draw and paint.
After a stint as a hairdresser, I decided I wanted to take a leap of faith and attended OCAD University in Toronto (the part of Canada everyone knows) where I graduated top of my class with honours and a medal winning thesis. It was an exhilirating experience and cemented my love of design. How's that for country gumption?
Since then, I've been working with brands as a visual designer. My work spans multiple industries and has aired in places I have never even been to, though dream of visiting. Nice to meet you!

DEEP THOUGHT IS ESSENTIAL
DEEP THOUGHT IS ESSENTIAL
Every brief has more in it than it first shows. I come at problems through philosophy and research, looking for the connections between data points that give the work its real direction.
