Bio

I’m a Canadian freelance designer and developer living in historic Lunenburg, Nova Scotia.

Passionate about design for both print and screen, I work on a diverse range of projects to help brands excel beyond these mediums. As a website designer and full-stack developer, I am able to take a website through any and all stages of design, creation, and implementation.

I graduated with an Honours degree in Visual Communication from the Nova Scotia College of Art & Design, and completed two years of Computer Science at Memorial University. After starting my career at Extreme Communications, I went on to London, England to work at Paul Cooper Design, and eventually ended up back in Nova Scotia at the award-winning design agency Breakhouse. I have now been running my own freelance practice for over 10 years.

I balance my digital life with personal creative work in the form of screenprinting. Creating prints by hand, one colour at a time, forces me to slow down, get my hands dirty, and think in different ways.

I’m always looking to collaborate on interesting projects with awesome people – get in touch.
