my story
I've been a member of the creative community in Toronto for over 20 years, with successful stints at The Hive, McCann, Cossette and Studio M.
I've worked on everything from television and print, to digital/social and content creation for global brands like Under Armour, Kraft Foods, Coca-Cola, Jack Daniel’s, Telus, WestJet and many more.
My experience is matched only by my enthusiasm to continue creating original work that will be remembered.
