I am a British Canadian Graphic and UX/UI Designer, with a passion for guitar, hiking, problem solving, cooking and gardening.
I love a good laugh, a good movie, and good company.
Most of all, a good cup of tea.
I have many years of experience working as a product photographer for the largest supermarket chain 'Loblaw' in North America, also for products shots for Canada's high-end sporting goods store 'Sporting Life'. Having designed and built financial websites, and other media, as a graphic/web designer at a design agency, I moved into the Government Relations sector in Toronto.
Currently, I am living in Ottawa, working as a UX/Graphic Designer designing websites for e-Commerce clients based on the Shopify, BigCommerce, and MIVA platforms.
In deeper detail, I am proficient in:
Adobe Creative Suite
Photoshop
Illustrator
XD
Premiere Pro
Audition
After Effects
InDesign
Dreamweaver
E-Commerce Platforms (Shopify, BigCommerce, MIVA)
HTML & CSS
Sketch
Figma
Axure
Apple Final Cut Pro X
I love graphic design, and flex my creative muscles whenever I have the opportunity, if I don't get the opportunity, then I make one.
My style is minimalistic with a dash of colour. This style also bleeds over into my photography, when colour but also structure and composition is vital. I absolutely adore shooting on film, either on Instax, medium format, or traditional 35mm, this is thanks to my father, who is someone I look upto in the photography realm.
Throughout my career, I have been fortunate to work with clients such as:
Loblaw (PC Express, formerly Click & Collect)
Joe Fresh
Beauty Boutique (formerly Murale)
Shoppers Drug Mart
OEB (Ontario Energy Board)
The Beer Store/Labatt Breweries
Shaping Alberta’s Future
AMHO (Addiction and Mental Health Ontario)
Together In Faith
Medtronic
Sporting Life
SCOTTeVEST
Dunning Golf
TKO Studios
5D Tactical
Smartbrokr
Pacbrake
Mann Lake
Ace Glass
VisionPros USA
Novitas
I have worked with these clients either directly (as a full-time employee), or indirectly (as a full-time employee at an agency). This has allowed me to gain a lot of valuable experience and knowledge from not only flexing my design muscles, but interacting with external team members and project co-ordinators.
