I'm a freelance graphic designer & illustrator living in the beautiful city of Vancouver. My primary motivation is to create meaningful designs that impact lives. 

I've been designing since I was twelve, in the days of homestead and angelfire web hosting. I graduated with a degree in studio art in 2010 and quickly transitioned to working as a photo intern at Greenpeace. 

Inspired by the socially-minded creative work at Greenpeace, I took on the position of a graphic designer at an international development firm where I was able to use design to solve complex communication problems and enable effective development efforts. During that time, I worked on a project for USAID that won the 2012 AIGA  Justified Design Competition.

In the summer of 2012, I further pursued the field of social design through Impact! Design for Social Change at the School of Visual Arts in NYC. I learned valuable tools and experiences to better equip me as a socially-minded designer. Since then, I've had the privilege of working at an award winning design firm in Washington, DC, which gave me the opportunity to work with a diverse range of clients and strong team of talents.
