I aim to create design people feel connected to, I specialize in human centered design, branding, website design, editorial design (books & magazines), and type-led graphic design. I follow emotional design principles to put users at ease and understand their needs, my values are “Love More” and “Lead with Simplicity” these provide a motivational foundation for all the work I produce.

I’ve been designing since 2016, I started creating logos and websites for people in my network and after designing for a year, I became interested in coding, I completed Hacker You’s full time front-end bootcamp and then their UX course. After that, I got some great opportunities to work under some amazing designers where I learned so much about simplicity, elegance, and telling a story through design. Now, my clients and I work as a team to deliver compelling brands & products through collaboration and storytelling.

I love connecting with other designers—I find that speaking with others in my field can be enlightening. I'm always looking to collaborate, specifically on brand and product related work. My most positive past relationships have been born out of honest collaboration. My ideal client has a love for what they are doing—and is excited to create a brand that inspires.

When I'm not designing, I'm usually with friends and family, going to art galleries, restaurants and taking my dog Marvin for walks at Trinity Bellwoods.
