hi there!
I’m a freelance Graphic Designer and Art Director with over 12 years of experience working for agencies, client side, and editorial platforms. I’m specialized in lifestyle brands, and also experienced working with tech, finance, healthcare, entertainment, and start-up companies. I have a well-rounded background in developing marketing campaigns, digital and print assets, social media content, experiential events, and influencer programs.
I studied at Toronto Metropolitan University’s (formerly Ryerson University) School of Fashion and earned my Bachelor of Design in 2011. Since then, I have worked at two agencies (primarily on lifestyle accounts), Canada’s leading editorial fashion magazine, and in-house at two brands – most recently as the Graphic Design Lead at the fine jewelry company Mejuri. My clients have included Estée Lauder, Live Clean, Gluckstein Home, Hudson’s Bay, Shoppers Drug Mart, and Walmart, among others.
I’m skilled in Adobe Creative Suite programs (Figma, Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, After Effects), art direction, production design, retouching, colour theory, layout composition, and typography. I have experience managing projects to delivery in both individual and team lead roles. Brand building and creating thoughtful, beautiful, strategic visual narratives is a constant source of inspiration to me.
This year I relocated to Berlin from Toronto, Canada, and am looking for my next challenge. I’d love to bring my motivation and desire to create to your brand!
drop me a line!
