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
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.
