My mom hit the road in the early 70s and became a bohemian trader. I came along ten years later. I was lucky to grow up in beautiful and exotic locales, attending expat schools and watching my mom design and source clothing and jewellery. This early exposure to extraordinary craft, art and culture has made me the versatile, adaptable and open-minded artist I am today.
Always curious and a creative, I first studied at NSCAD and OCAD, focusing on Photography and Fashion Design. I have always loved working with my hands and exploring different mediums as a way to hone composition and conceptual abilities. I ultimately realized my true calling a little later in life—graphic design. I graduated on the Dean's Honour Roll from the George Brown School of Design, winning some awards and recognition along the way.
I have since been working steadily as a Graphic Designer, contributing my style to various editorial magazines, company brands, web design, package design and illustration projects. I have so much love and passion for design and I am so grateful for a practical application for my creativity.
When I’m not designing and making—I love art, reading, writing, traveling, cooking, eating, drinking, making, gardening and Christmas!
