As the daughter of a jazz musician and an artist, my formative years are a blur of Charlie Parker lullabies and bedtime stories from the Fluxus Manifesto. Encouraged to draw on the walls, and dance in public, this rather unique childhood led me towards a career in the visual arts. My only perfunctory act of rebellion against this unstructured upbringing has been a quest for structure within my own creative practice. Graphic design, and its inherent balance of freedom and restraint, has satisfied this need, while staying true to my artistic roots. I love creating beauty and function within the confines of client requests, and technical feasibility, and the challenges that come with an ever-evolving industry.
My design sensibilities are heavily informed by my passion for design research, I believe that design is not only a creative process, but also an intellectual one. I specialize in user-centered, print and interactive communications, and have worked with a broad range of clients, from corporations to artists, and from Canada to the UK.
The Adobe Creative Suite is my weapon of choice, but I have a good command of HTML, CSS, Actionscript and growing knowledge in Javascript and JQuery. I have over four years of industry experience and have worked for diverse clients in North America and abroad, with experience that extends across several areas including retail, music, fashion, arts, leisure, healthcare, media and entertainment.
