designer & artist

I’ve been making art for over a decade and have always liked experimenting—trying new tools, new styles, and seeing what sticks. I started out in painting and sculpture, and while I loved it (and learned a lot at OCADU), something still felt missing.

That clicked years later on a trip to New Zealand with my fiancé. I realized I wanted to combine creativity with my love of problem-solving and working on a computer. The final “aha” moment happened on a summer afternoon while scooping ice cream at in cottage country.

I’m a graphic designer now, and it just fits. I see design as creative problem-solving—taking an idea, playing with it, pushing it, and figuring out how to make it work better. Even small ideas can turn into strong solutions with the right approach.

Since then, I’ve worked with a mix of small businesses and larger organizations, both solo and on teams. I’ve helped with branding, illustrations, campaigns, social media, and print and digital assets for clients like the Art School of Peterborough, the Art Gallery of Peterborough, United Way, and other local and national businesses.

When I’m not designing, I’m probably in the garden, walking my goofy dogs, or power-walking through the city with loud music. I’m always making something—lately that’s been printmaking and landscape painting. I’m easy-going, say “no worries” a lot, and love a good laugh.
