Hello!

I’m a designer based on Vancouver Island, with over a decade of experience creating thoughtful work across brand, digital, and print.

Art and design have been a constant throughout my life. Drawing was my favourite thing to do as a kid, and by the time I was a teenager, my bedroom walls were completely collaged with pages carefully torn from Vogue and Nylon (a slight obsession with books and magazines has stayed with me ever since). That early fascination with visual culture eventually led me to study art history and design—a combination that still shapes how I work. I’m always looking at where something came from before deciding where it should go.

I love working where strategy, culture, and visual storytelling meet—shaping distinctive identities across every touchpoint. The goal is always the same: work that’s clear, considered, and designed to connect.
