Bio
I am a freelance graphic designer, web developer, letterpress printer and analog photographer.

When I manage to drag myself away from the computer you’ll probably find me on the slopes snowboarding in winter and in the forest, mountain biking during the summer.

With over 8 years experience in Canada, Australia and the UK, I have worked with small clients, agencies and major corporations.
