I am a Graphic Designer and Illustrator currently studying New Media and Web Development at the British Columbia Institute of Technology. With a lifelong passion for visual arts, I previously studied Fine Arts at Langara College and completed a summer abroad Art History program in Italy. My creative journey spans multiple disciplines, including drawing, painting, tattooing, and jewelry design. As technology evolved, my interest naturally expanded into Graphic Design and Digital Art.
Before transitioning to design, I spent a decade working in Social Services and Emergency Healthcare in Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside, supporting individuals affected by poverty, mental health challenges, and a deadly overdose crisis.
While deeply committed to this work, in 2021, I chose to pursue a new path—one driven by my passions of creativity and artistic expression.
Upon completion of my program, my aim is to build a career as a Graphic Designer and Illustrator, crafting visually compelling work that merges artistry with digital innovation.
I am experienced and proficient with the following software tools and techniques.
I am interested in all things creative, in my spare time I explore drawing, painting, making jewelry, digital art and have been teaching myself how to tattoo.
I am fascinated by history and culture. I have travelled the world extensively, from the Amazon Jungle to the Sahara Desert and have lived in 5 different countries before settling in Vancouver.
I am constantly seeking to better understand the world and the people in it. I love to learn and always have a documentary or podcast playing while I work, do chores or commute. I am particularly interested in: Ancient history, law & crime, psychology, politics, philosophy & more.
I love nature and being surrounded by plants and animals. I am most at peace relaxing on my patio garden with my cat, Cyrus and the squirrels and birds that visit us daily.
