With an entrepreneurial background and fifteen years of experience in branding, advertising and art direction, my work spans multiple industries including food & beverage, beauty, and arts & culture—for both big brands and small businesses.

My critical eye for detail and strategic approach results in work that is smart, meaningful, engaging and beautiful.

On both a freelance and full-time basis, I’ve worked with many of Toronto’s top agencies. Currently Design Director at Public Office, I was previously Design Director at Leo Burnett and Whitman Emorson, and Designer at John St, Jackman and Arts & Crafts Productions.
