The past few years have been dedicated to working toward a new career, a new beginning. It has been a challenging but rewarding transition from attorney to graphic designer. I started on the premise of leaving a job in order to pursue a career in a field I am passionate about. Whether it is moving away from my French Canadian roots, navigating the complex field of aerospace or competing in the arena of graphic design, I pride myself on adapting to change and taking risks.
