Creative Director and Registered Graphic Designer based in London, Ontario, with over 20 years of experience designing scalable brand and communication systems across print, digital, and internal platforms. I specialize in simplifying complex information – through data-driven reports, multi-channel campaigns, and accessible document design – creating systems that are not only visually strong, but practical for teams to use day-to-day. My work often includes building template ecosystems and tools, such as Canva brand kits and internal document systems, that support long-term consistency beyond initial design delivery. I’ve worked across healthcare, financial services, government, and corporate sectors, including large-scale, data-heavy and multi-audience communication environments. My approach bridges the gap between brand strategy and real-world execution – focusing on clarity, usability, and creating design systems that hold up in practice, not just presentation.
