about me
I was born in Beauport, Québec and moved to Ontario at the age of 15. I always wanted to be an engineer so I could 'design things'. I studied Mechanical Engineering at the University of Waterloo for a couple years before I realized it wasn't exactly what I wanted to do. I needed something less limiting and more creative, but had no clue what exactly. And you know the rest of the story.
Actually you probably don't know the story at all! Basically, I to work and backpack Europe for 7 months, where I found out I really enjoyed photography. One thing led to another, and I eventually began studying Advertising at Conestoga College, and found out I really enjoyed design.
That's when I started doing freelance work, and I've never looked back. I have a day job where I also design all day, but somehow I just can't get enough of creating pretty things.
I'm an honest person, though I wouldn't say I'm average. I absolutely love humour, philosophy and cosmology. I have pretty strong views about life, humanity and the Universe, but that's for another time.
All you need to know is this: I love design and I believe that if something's worth doing it's worth doing well. If you need a reliable but affordable designer to help you create a dynamic brand, website, or just a simple brochure, you know who to email.
