My adventure in creativity began in 2009 after completing my Bachelor of Design in Advertising at OCAD University, and winning gold student awards with both the ADCC and Marketing Magazine.
After graduation I went on to work as an art director at DDB Canada, Grip Limited, and Target Marketing, developing campaigns and concepts for brands like Lipton, Subaru Canada, Honda and Acura Canada, Newfoundland and Labrador Tourism, Bosch & Thermador, Blockbuster and Capital One.
An opportunity in 2012 led me to an eight-year career as an art director with the Directors Guild of Canada, designing and creating graphics for on-screen use in productions for studios such as NETFLIX, NBC, YTV, SPACE, FOX, CBS and STARZ.
In the fall of 2019 I decided to pursue my passion for big ideas and enrolled in the two-year art direction program at Miami Ad School, Toronto. This experience gave me the chance to learn and study about what advertising is today.
And recently I’ve spent time working with Weber Shandwick and Tank Worldwide, creating digital, social and print campaigns for brands including Best Buy Canada, Chevrolet Canada, McDonalds Canada, Pedialyte, Glucerna, PediaSure, CPAC, and the Government of Canada.
