My passion for graphic design started with a love for visual arts and reading. I would spend hours painting portraits and became fascinated with color theory.

A LITTLE BIT MORE ABOUT ME.

At the same time, you’d find me with a book in my hands at any given point in the day.Writing essays about themes, symbols, and ideologies in novels became a way for me to start to see the intricate relationship between words and images. This led me to seek out a way I could pursue a blend of my interests in the arts and storytelling.

I began translating what I was learning from teachers, books I was reading, and the mentors I had to the screen. Graphic design became the perfect path to explore the interaction of word and image – both with which I found myself deeply fascinated since a young age. I started becoming a visual storyteller for people and or brands where I could bring their ideas and concepts to life.

I currently work in London, UK but am originally from Canada.
