About Me.

I’m an Art Director with over six years of experience at a CRM-focused agency, where I’ve spent my time crafting thoughtful, high-performing work for major brands. My approach is rooted in a bold, clean visual language, paired with an instinct for ideas that push beyond the expected.

On a personal note - I'm a lover of film, music, comics and the Leafs (but we don't talk about that now).
