I am a hardworking, creative problem solver and designer who strives to constantly gain knowledge through new, exciting opportunities and people. I believe that honest collaboration with both clients and colleagues is crucial to developing thoughtful solutions. Branding and identity design is my strong suit, but I love to work on a diverse range of projects to solve the challenge at hand.

I currently employ my skills as a Senior Designer at Whitman Emorson. Prior to working with WE I spent time freelancing with studios / agencies, companies, and independent clients. My previous full-time role was as a Designer at LG2 Toronto within the design and branding department: ADCC's design agency of the year 2023. Prior to LG2, I was an Intermediate Designer at Cosmic Design. Earlier experiences include contract work for BLVD Agency, TIFF, and a graphic design internship at Underline Studio. I am a graduate of Humber College’s graphic design program. 

Aside from being a designer, I am also a drawing advocate, film fanatic, freeskier, and dog lover. I enjoy listening to electronic music, hanging out with friends, and spending time outside. All of these activities inspire me and influence my design work.
