Graphic designer, collector, and problem-solver.

Since 1998, I have been working with a diverse set of public, private, and non-profit clients. With over 25 years of experience, I can plan, create, produce, and deliver your project from start to finish.

After over a decade in the advertising, graphic design, prepress and printing industries, I opened my creative studio in a suburb of Vancouver. Since then, I have worked on a wide range of projects, from colourful point-of-purchase displays to award-winning annual reports. I’m always up for new challenges and I find even the smallest project to be full of exciting possibilities.

My graphic design experience make me well qualified to provide a full range of digital and print communications products. My design approach focuses on organizing information and conveying messages in an uncomplicated, clear, and engaging style, and my project management skills ensure that every project is cost effective and delivered on time.

For assignments both large and small, I work with my clients to ensure that projects move smoothly from concept to completion. I value the trust my clients have in my creative services, and I’m willing to go above and beyond their expectations to make sure the results are uniquely creative, accurate, and professional.

Whether working or not, I am always eating the world with my eyes. I am a collector of toys, movies, records, books, tiny things, and ephemera. When not working, I can often be found watching a documentary, reading a book, playing records, taking a quiet walk in nature, or trying out a new recipe in the kitchen.

Graphic design is the practice of solving a problem by using words, pictures, and colours. Good graphic design makes the solution easy to understand, and sparks curiosity in the reader to find out more.

I specialize in four main services:
