About


Person with a dog outdoors in a natural setting with plants and rocks

Before becoming a complete design nerd, I was making business cards, greeting cards, thank-you cards, just about any type of card for friends & family. I started learning to code and design at a young age. I've been fortunate to work with some amazing people and companies throughout my career and I'm always looking for new challenges when I'm not busy with my current role or volunteering community time.

I studied Digital Design at Sheridan College, where I focused on mobile design and digital experiences. I saw how powerful branding can be in shaping thoughtful, user-centered work.

Today, as a designer, I apply the principles of empathy and craft to connect with people and build strong brands. My specialty is transforming complicated and unclear into simple and beautiful.

Outside of work, you can usually find me kicking around a soccer ball, catching a late-night movie, or hanging out with my family & a few friends.
