In My Own Words
I am a designer, illustrator and painter originally from Toronto, Canada, seeking a new challenge within a creative agency or the action sports/street-wear industry. Prior to completing a one year post graduate scholarship program at the School of Visual Arts in New York City, I earned a Bachelor of Design from the Alberta College of Art and Design. I maintain my own freelance practice and work with clients who seek branding + identity design, illustration, commissioned paintings + murals, digital video production and motion graphics. My work has been featured by Graphis, Adweek, The Art Directors Club, SVA and more. Currently, I am a Graphic Designer at the Converse Inc. global HQ in Boston.
