My design practice

With over 12 years of experience in Communication Design—across agency, in-house, and freelance environments—I’ve built a multidisciplinary practice rooted in clarity, empathy, and purpose.

My focus includes brand identity, print and digital design, and motion graphics. I bring a thoughtful, research-driven approach to every project, combining strategic thinking with refined visual execution.

I collaborate with clients who value intention, impact, and aesthetics—often within the realms of art, wellbeing, and community. Whether I’m crafting a visual identity, designing motion graphics, or writing about the creative path, my goal is to create work that communicates clearly and resonates deeply, supporting connection and meaningful engagement.

A few companies I’m proud to have worked with

My art practice

My art is an exploration of personal and collective transformation—expressing the emotional undercurrents and subtle shifts that shape how we relate to ourselves and the world around us. I aim to create pieces that invite introspection and offer space for connection and healing.

Art, to me, is both a process and a dialogue—an ever-evolving expression of the inner world meeting the outer. My practice continues to shift and grow, guided by curiosity and an openness to new materials, ideas, and perspectives.

My other interests

In addition to my visual work, I keep a journal where I write about creative wellbeing, personal growth, and life on a creative path. It’s a space for reflection—offering honest insight, encouragement, and calm for those navigating their own creative journeys.

In 2023, I also co-founded NEST Gallery, a Calgary-based initiative that hosts art shows centering underrepresented artists. Our aim is to help cultivate a more collaborative and inclusive artistic community.
