Toronto, Ontario, CanadaGraphic Design has never felt like work to me. Its cliche but true. My drive for this industry comes from my love of Art and all things Design. I have had unique opportunities in my career so-far and will continue to learn from them and hone my craft.
There are lots of experiences that don't count as work but help to round-out a designer. Ive been a part of art shows, had photos published and judged the Juno Awards for design. Although I don't frequent the award scene, ive had work nominated and win in different facets of design.
Im very humbled by all the experience ive gained over the years and have lots to show.
