For the past 10 years, I have developed and successfully executed diverse creative projects for established organizations in Canada, including Fertilizer Canada, Canada Soccer and the Canadian Museums Association. Using both print and digital mediums, I have extensive experience working in a fast-pace environment while developing the creative for numerous whitepapers, in-depth reports, corporate events, and digital campaigns. I have been able to maintain long-lasting professional relationships with satisfied clients, which are a result of consistent professionalism and effective product delivery.
Throughout my career, I have constantly focused on design innovation and take pride in being different, sometimes edgy, while ensuring that each creative project not only engages the audience, but works in harmony with the overall messaging. And either through self or academic learning I am always in the pursuit of new knowledge and best practices to remain relevant and current in the creative field.
As a self-employed contractor I have successfully developed a small creative business, offering high quality services in photography and graphic design. And after completing the one year program of Interactive Media Management at Algonquin College, I will be prepared to take on new creative challenges in web design and development, videography and motion graphics.
