I know I should be writing about myself here, but maybe it's more about…What makes me tick. As the son of a creative director, you would think I would be an accountant. But for a career, all I wanted to do was lean into the world of design and creating. To this end, since my OCAD days, I’ve worn a few hats. In chronological order!
Hat 1: Reflecting my interest in urban culture and fashion I collaborated with some friends to launch ZALE a streetwear fashion brand that still holds its own.
Hat 2: Where I learn everything I wanted to know (and more) about working with a diverse and demanding array of clients as Art Director at TBWA Canada.
Hat 3: Free to be Me when the occasional freelance opportunity comes along that offers me the chance to knit my talents and interests together I go for it. The thing “about me” you might want to know (and what matters) is my intent to continue to explore and grow whatever talents I have in the fulfillment of work that stands the test, and stands out, too.
