I’m a designer from Toronto, Ontario!
I’m a personable, confident and focused designer, who creates fondness in a glance. With 8+ years experience, I’ve worked with major brands, in luxury, collectibles, tech and fashion. I got to lead design for eBay’s Pride festivities, designing truck wraps, buttons, t-shirts, parade banners and more. Did I mention I did it twice? More fun stuff, I designed and sold t-shirts, posters and jewelry on etsy, at markets and through print-on-demand services. I currently oversee and design event posters for a local organization, promoting events, parties and workshops.
I have experience as an art director, working in digital and live spaces, directing photography, video, magazine and galleries. In addition, I have created assets, guidelines, consulted and helped build brand identities on Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, Pinterest, and in print. Most of my work has been for events, and brands in the luxury, culture, fashion and collectibles space.
In addition to typical industry experience, my drive towards personal development and collaboration has led me to a diversity in experience and skill. I took a short pause from traditional creative work to pursue my dream of teaching abroad. Rather than a break, this period was a reinvestment of my skill as a designer. My global connections and insight into experiential and presentation design across language levels, age and interest groups, have made me an even more compelling and excited designer than ever before.
On the personal end, I love pop-culture deep-dives, drawing and collecting collections (not a typo), and perfecting voice impressions.

Drawing was my very first artistic pursuit. I love to create a new world with pencil to paper.
Digital illustration has only given me more possibilities to explore. From story-boarding, to advertisements, to zines and tattoo flash tickets, I love to share my world and help others make theirs come to life!
I post my illustrations on Instagram https://www.twine.net/signin You can see more below.

I’ll work with my hands at any chance! I’ve made many a prototype, sculpture, jewelry and everything in-between.
Pictured is a wedding invitation/guest book I made. For this project, I explored embossing, book binding, sticker and stamp making, engraving, design and illustration all in one!
For two years, I’ve worked on the internal and parade assets for eBay Pride. The assets included stickers, t-shirts, social media, email, zoom and slack assets.
I designed the t-shirts, truck wraps and parade banners both years! And guess what, the zoom backgrounds below are from my noggin’, too ;)
