I landed my first design gig as a production artist in London, Ontario. In that position I was able to learn the detail work of repairing film on drafting boards, prepping art for dies, and even designing the roll-up-the-rim to win for Timmy’s! Although I enjoyed the hands-on approach to design work, I decided to return to college for another year to further my web and video skills. The additional diploma in Multi-Media Design & Production led me to attain an incredibly versatile position in Sarnia, Ontario at a media agency. In that role I worked on everything from logo design, print design and web design to animation, 3D modeling and special effects and editing for video.
When I moved to Alberta I worked in another media agency and was able to continue using my expanded skill set. Once I returned to Ontario I decided to focus on website design and attained a position as a Website Designer for an educational institution. During that role, I not only designed a 4000 page responsive website from the ground-up as the sole web designer working on a small team, but I also learned many branding, communication, analytical, technical, data analysis and leadership skills.
Throughout my career I have always freelance designed for clients. This has allowed me to keep my portfolio fresh and provide services to those who need it.
