I'm a Director & Art Director with experience working at agencies like DDB, Cossette and 123West.

I’ve developed creative for various brands including Volkswagen, McDonald’s, Netflix, Nintendo, Sleeman, Lululemon, Playland, and Canadian Milk. When I’m not directing or coming up with campaign ideas, I’m probably illustrating or watching re-runs of Seinfeld or the Simpsons (seasons 1-10).

I’m represented by BOLDLY for directing projects in Canada and I take on freelance Art Direction contracts and Illustration projects from Vancouver, BC.
