About

A seasoned designer with 20 years experience, I've worked in design agencies, in-house, and freelance for clients in non-profit, tourism, government, natural resources, food and beverage, education, sports, and entertainment. I have a strong traditional design background paired with nearly a decade of digital design including WordPress, Squarespace, XD and more recently Figma. I'm driven by finding solutions that work.

I feel my perspective is uniquely shaped by growing up in places like the Congo and Brazil, and living in the far north of Canada and south-west Texas.
