PERSPECTIVE
Adventure comes in all shapes, forms, colours, people, places, tastes, smells, and I'm sure countless other ways I haven't experienced yet. My eyes are always open and my heart is always full for something new and exciting. Doing what I can to leave the world a little kinder, cleaner and happier through creativity.
Art & Design Director based out of Montreal, I focus on storytelling in digital and environmental medias through beautiful and functional design. Over a decade of experience working with small, medium and large organizations, agencies and brands.
