About
Toronto-based Creative Director and Designer with over twenty years' experience building brands, from local startups and cultural institutions to Fortune 500 corporations. My main areas of focus are branding and visual identities, packaging, editorial, motion and interactive design. Over the course of my career I've held design and leadership positions at some of Canada's most awarded agencies including Concrete and Leo Burnett. In 2018 I founded the Branding and Design department of LG2 Toronto, helping grow Canada's largest independent creative agency which was recently named Canadian Design Agency of the Year by the ADCC.
Aside from my work at the agency, I sit on the board of the Advertising and Design Club of Canada, the nation's oldest organization devoted to promoting excellence within the creative industry. As the club's Vice President I'm actively involved with community outreach, sponsorship and fundraising, and ensuring the continuation of the club's mission. I have also had the pleasure of sitting on a range of national and international design juries, including Cannes Lions, Communication Arts, Applied Arts, Marketing, The National Magazine Awards, Concours Idéa, The Anvils, and ADCC.
