I’ve been working in art and design for 12+ years via agencies, in-house brand departments, art galleries, and movie sets. My background is in Art History and design research and I am currently taking freelance work in beautiful Vancouver. My passion is to collaborate, push ideas, support a team, and find sustainable and equitable solutions for the work. When I’m not working on design, I’m painting, playing with my kids, or gardening.
