About me

I’m an Art Director who loves the mix of creativity and strategy. I like digging into how people think and turning that into work that feels useful, honest, and easy to navigate.

I’ve worked across a mix of industries: tech, healthcare, fashion, retail, nonprofit, and even space. It’s given me a pretty good sense of how different people think and how design can make their experience better (or worse).

I studied Communication & Sociology at the University of Ottawa and later completed my MA in Design for Art Direction at UAL in London. This combination has helped to think about the systems we move through every day, and how design can shift how we feel and interact within them.
