Hello - thanks for dropping by.

This site is a sample of my student work and non-commercial projects.

I am a San Francisco-based graphic designer. I was born and raised in Edmonton, Canada. After graduating with a college diploma in Visual Communication & Design from Grant MacEwan College in Edmonton, I worked as an image acquisitionist and production artist at an educational publishing company, Duval House Publishing. There I produced layouts and graphics for educational texts and manuals and was responsible for acquiring and arranging copyright licenses for images to be published in books.

In 2005, I relocated to San Francisco and began attending The Art Institute of California - San Francisco. I graduated in October 2008 with a Bachelor of Science Degree in Graphic Design. I have been freelancing since 2002 on projects which include print solutions for a variety of clients and collaborative projects.

In my spare time I enjoy amateur photography. I also create hand-made books using traditional bookbinding techniques and create handmade linoleum prints. When I'm not designing, I love exploring San Francisco and visiting museums and galleries and art shows.
