Work Experience
Freelance
Design Director / Senior Art Director / Senior Designer / Creative Director / Illustrator
I work with design, marketing and strategic communication agencies and with direct clients in Canada, US and internationally. Based upon solid strategic foundations, I create and develop brand identity systems, and oversee the design experience rolled out across all brand applications and communication touch points: digital / interactive, print, architectural, environmental/exhibition design, experiential, photography + video art direction, motion design direction, events, web, social media, packaging, editorial and campaign design.
Aside from establishing the design / creative and artistic direction of brands, I remain very involved in the design process, keeping a hands-on approach from the concept phase until delivery of brand guidelines. I am also an artist and illustrator, and where pertinent, I bring in unique custom illustration into my brand design work.
My clients are from various industries: retail, hospitality, real-estate, entertainment, events, travel, wellness, fashion/beauty, technology, and corporate / cultural organizations.

Awol - The Art Of Travel
Founder / Creative Director
I created AWOL - The Art of Travel as a passion project merging my love of travel, art, design and brand creation. Originally wanting to form my own little universe connecting curious people, art, travel, design and wanderlust together, the brand became a creative outlet and incubator for my personal artistic exploration, without boundaries or constraints. I designed and conceived the branding, packaging, website, artistic direction, and the user experience, as well as creating all the fashion accessory and home decor collections, artwork, travel-inspired illustrations and designs. Each collection is created by me, and reflects the unique experience and impressions around different places I discovered on my travels.
Since its launch, AWOL has been featured in Vogue, Harpers Bazaar, Condé Nast Traveller, Paper Magazine, Miami Fashion week, and many other incredible places and publications. It is retailing in Montreal, New York, London, and Europe, as well as starting to gain a more international foothold. I continue to evolve and experiment within this creative playground, learning and creating freely, having fun, and meeting inspiring people along the way.
