Discover my unique experiences that set me apart from other creatives

The Short Version

I partner with brands, agencies, and startups to turn big ideas into stories people actually care about. Nothing makes me happier than jumping into a new team, swapping ideas, and creating work that feels like it truly matters.

Before I took the leap into entrepreneurship in 2022, I spent almost a decade as a senior designer and marketing coordinator at a small agency in Southwestern Ontario. It was a little bit of everything — print design, websites, social campaigns, you name it — and it taught me how much I love wearing many creative hats (and how to stay calm while juggling them).

Those years also taught me that great design isn’t just about making things look good — it’s about making people care. And that’s the part I’ll never get tired of.

The Not-So-Short Version:

Creative Agency (2022 – Present)

In 2022, I left the safety net of agency life to build something of my own—a business where I could pour all my curiosity, creativity, and care into helping brands grow.

Since then, I’ve worn every hat: strategist, designer, creative director, mentor, marketer. Building my own business has taught me how to juggle big-picture vision with pixel-level detail—and how powerful it is when a brand finally clicks into place.

Now, I get to partner with brands at every stage of growth, guiding them through the messy middle and out the other side with a clear story, a cohesive identity, and a renewed sense of confidence in what they do.

A little about me beyond the work

I’ve always been the type who goes all in — endlessly curious, deeply driven, and happiest when I’m creating something that makes people feel seen. That drive is woven into everything I do, from how I approach challenges to how I show up for the people around me.

I’m fascinated by the stories behind people and the details that make them who they are — it’s what makes me a storyteller at heart.

Outside of work, I’m happiest when life feels full: good food (I’ll never say no to a charcuterie board), long conversations, spontaneous travel, or quiet moments with a book and a cold Erdinger in hand.

Core Values . Core Values . Core Values . Core Values . Core Values . Core Values . Core Values .

These values shape every project I take on — and define what it’s like to work together.

01

Creativity

For me, creativity isn’t just about making things look good — it’s about solving problems, sparking ideas, and bringing bold visions to life. I love digging deep, asking “what if,” and turning scattered thoughts into something clear and beautiful. Whether I’m shaping a brand from scratch or reimagining one that’s ready to grow, I’m here to make it feel fresh, intentional, and unmistakably you.

02

Dedication

When I say yes to a project, I’m all in. I treat your brand like it’s my own — with care, curiosity, and an eye for the little details that make a big difference. You can count on me to show up, stay organized, meet deadlines, and keep the process clear and stress-free (because building a brand should be exciting, not overwhelming).

03

Collaboration

The best work happens when we build it together. Your voice matters — and I’m here to listen, adapt, and co-create. I bring my creative direction and strategy to the table, but the magic happens when we blend that with your vision, experience, and big ideas. Together, we’ll shape a brand that feels true to you and stands out for all the right reasons.
