Somewhere around art and design – or nowhere – but mostly in Vancouver

My Professional Journey

After graduating with a Communication and English degree from Simon Fraser University, I studied Graphic Design at Emily Carr University of Art + Design and British Columbia Institute of Technology. Soon after, I worked client-side in Marketing and started doing freelance graphic design, while learning about Photography at Langara College. I then joined a print company and eventually started my own print business. Returning to the corporate environment, I worked in Creative Services and learned about retail design, signage, merchandising, and construction. After obtaining the Project Management Professional (PMP) certification, studying at the University of British Columbia, I worked as a Brand Project Manager for one of the most iconic athletic apparel companies. Next, I shifted paths and became an Art Director, leading the design department at a communications consulting firm. Currently, I work in Marketing at a health tech company.
