GRAPHIC DESIGNER & SOCIAL MEDIA MANAGER
about me
I do 3 things – create brand visuals, manage social media content for businesses, and make cool art.​
After recently finishing my undergrad at the University of Waterloo in Global Business and Digital Arts, I’m now excited to call Stratford home!​
​Design is about more than just looking good – it’s about creating something that connects, makes people feel something, and sticks in their minds. Whether I’m using Illustrator, Figma, Procreate, or just sketching out ideas, I’m always looking for that spark that brings ideas to life in unexpected ways.​
​I’m constantly seeking out new projects that challenge me, and I thrive on collaboration. The more I learn, the better I get – and I’m always up for exploring new creative challenges. Let’s make something awesome together.
"There are three responses to a piece of design—yes, no, and WOW! Wow is the one to aim for."

UNIVERSITY OF WATERLOO
2021 - 2025
My program combines visual and digital art, technology and business. Here, I have learned how to create effective graphic designs, user-friendly app mockups, creative short films and more. I spend a lot of time working in teams and have gained many valuable skills I plan on utilizing throughout the rest of my career. My building is at the Stratford School of Interaction Design and Business, where I spend most of my time!
