About Me

Having a family full of designers, I always was encouraged to draw and create since I was a youngster. This keen interest in drawing would eventually lead me to earn a Bachelor of Fine Arts, majoring Painting and Drawing from Concordia University. With design and art in my blood, I continued to complete a certificate in Graphic Design from BCIT. Once graduated, I was lucky enough to join the team at My Loud Speaker Marketing Ltd. which produced award winning community campaigns such as ‘Made in Strathcona’. In my personal time, I found enjoyment in taking on smaller boutique clients to help their communications in any way shape or form, (designing social media content, merchandise, websites, the works!). This lead me to take a chance and freelance which encouraged me to get out of my comfort zone and learn other aspects of the industry (client recruitment, client relations, administration etc.). After some time freelancing on my own, I found a home at P3 Media for 8 years, growing from a small company of a handful of smart talented people, to a whole team which was recognized as a Platinum Partner by Shopify. There I got to work with big name clients and make some truly lasting impacts by growing their businesses.

In my free time, I enjoy the typical Canadian pleasures this great land has to offer. I still indulge in ice hockey year round, camping, and continue to explore the great city of Vancouver. I have a knack for cooking at home, often experimenting with recipes I see on Instagram, which has been a great creative outlet outside of the mandatory screen time. My favourite dish is easily a bowl a of noodles, (ramen or pho) and I’ve just started to get the travel bug (having just travelled all across South America for 3 months) and am keen to check out more of Asia in the future.
