About

I'm a Canadian, born in Winnipeg who has been working in Los Angeles for over 2 and a half years.

Philosophy

When I was a kid growing up in Winnipeg Manitoba Canada (it’s a nice city), I thought I’d be a scientist or astronaut, who happened to be able to draw. Well I can still draw at least. I don’t feel that design / advertising is a science, however with experience and research you can help tune your intuition to create the message that resonates with the audience. I also think it’s important to listen to people when they speak, you might learn something you didn’t know. Advertising is very much a people business and you need to be able to create a message that resonates with the audience. Some can make things look 'pretty' and others understand how to control the message but it is my goal to combine the machinery of business and the humanity of art into one cohesive package.

I have an imaginative perspective and a unique ability to relate the seemingly unrelated. Oh and I have a wicked dope colour sense and aesthetic.
