Get to Know Me

My unique experience and core values set me apart from other creatives

I am a Canadian-based, design-obsessed art director + graphic designer

I work with brands, agencies, and startups to create, plan, and deliver strategic visual storytelling initiatives. I love being part of a new team and helping create work that matters!

Before I took the leap into entrepreneurship in early 2022, I spent nearly a decade as a senior designer and marketing coordinator at a local agency in Southwestern Ontario. There, I dabbled in everything from print design to web development to digital marketing, picking up a diverse range of skills along the way.

I am a design-obsessed, adventure-loving introvert with an appreciation for all things aesthetically pleasing—branding, packaging, scenery—you name it!

A few fun facts about me

I am a true over-achiever who is obsessed with all things true crime, and I live for a good charcuterie board.

When I’m not crafting beautiful brand experiences or working on fun projects for my incredibly awesome clients, you can find me sipping on a cold beverage (Erdinger is my favourite), reading a good book, or taking a trip to somewhere new!
