Let me take this opportunity to show you a couple of the graphic design examples of who I am. On this page, you will find examples of my typographic and layout skills, some technical and interpretive illustration, and a conceptual book design piece, as well as my resume, and full skillset. I encourage you to take your time to browse around, & enjoy your stay!
I am graduate of the York University/Sheridan College Graphic Design Honours program, with experience in corporate identity, design and project management, and information design. I am currently seeking work in Toronto/the GTA, where my typography, project management, illustration and layout skills will assist the studio in achieving its goals.
