About me and my work
A creative designer with a flair for front end web development; who's generally crazy about colours, grids, and fancy fonts.
As a graduate of Loyalist College I have had a successful, decade long career that includes senior level design positions in several companies. I have a deep understanding and broad experience in the advertising and design industry working with clients such as: Dell, Intel, TimeWarner, NBC, SAP Canada, Rogers Communications, Domino's Pizza of Canada, Microsoft, Alcatel-Lucent, The Public Health Agency of Canada, Nintendo, and AMD.
Over the last decade I have focused on one goal; deliver strong, results-driven, creative work for all clients, regardless of media type or budget. I approach each project with a dedication to original and innovative design; believing that this dedication coupled with contemporary marketing solutions will give any business a leg up on its competition.
This is the driving factor that fuels all the work that I do. It's the belief that strategic planning and concrete follow-through will offer the best, most compelling voice to any target audience. In other words, it is the belief that investing in thought and design is just good business karma.

Why it all matters
It really is more than just snazzy pictures. It’s a cohesive collection of skills and abilities that differentiate good designers from great ones.
Like any other job, trade, or career a good designer has a very specific set of skills. We have a deep understanding of typography, composition, balance, and colour theory. And typically, we see the world in an array of grids, expecting everything to be aligned and consistent.
But if all designers have essentially the same skill set, where is the differentiation?
The differentiation between good and great designers comes down to an expanded set of skills. It’s a skill set that is not taught in school, but is learnt through the motivation and determination of providing better, more improved and refined visual communications and interactions. It’s a skill set that includes a drive to continually refine and improve technical and artistic skills; while remaining current on newly emerging trends, styles and industry-standard tools. It also includes professionalism and the ability to clearly communicate concepts and ideas to any and all clients. But most importantly, it includes problem solving; because the truth is no creative undertaking is ever easy. A designer has to take words and emotions and communicate them visually in a logical and meaningful manner.
I pride myself on the fact that I have spent my entire career refining and honing these skills, continually improving, continually moving forward. And it is this continual improvement that I believe determines a designer’s worth and value to an organization. Because without moving forward there is no growth and without that there would be no differentiations.
