I’m a unicorn. A Web Designer, Front End Developer and a Photoshop sorcerer with vector voodoo abilities. I’m also a firefighter. I put out urgent fires throughout the day for anyone that requires a hydrant full of creativity. I thrive under pressure with the help of a cup of green tea. My desk is usually cluttered with empty iced tea bottles, scribbled sketches, hand drawn web layouts and pencil shavings. Speaking of which, where did I put that pencil…

I’m mostly self-taught in all things design. I’m not big on education, so I don’t usually go there. Fresh out of SAIT, I did some contract work for various start-ups and opened up a small business of my own. Outside of the 9-5, I like to push the envelope in digital art/photo montage and concept development for different charities, exhibitions and digital art and design collectives. I’m passionate about my craft, and I expect the same from the people and the clients I work with. Friends and family are a big part of my life and I try to keep a balance between them and my work. It’s not always easy, but then again, I do lead the life of a creative.
