About

I'm a graphic and web designer based in Toronto who came into design by way of history, journalism and photography. These past experiences have contributed to a deep sense of empathy which informs my design process and work.
 
In my spare time, I explore design history at Design Dives, a side project I started to share my love of design and history. I also explore different art mediums and crafts such as painting, illustration, photography, embroidery, sewing and knitting. I value curiosity, sustainability and community, and am passionate about learning new things, the world of movie-making, and seeing how other people live around the world!
