If you stand in front of these exemplary pieces, they speak to you…it’s poetry in motion. Each piece and their movement, captured to perfection. I can only imagine what these pieces would look like hanging in my living room, oozing ethnic elegance, and mystery. We were mesmerized by these pieces and would go back just to see them through the gallery window! My hats off to you, the artist, with respect and awe. I hope you’re able to get what they are worth, as they are priceless!!

design. convert. elevate.

I am a passionate graphic designer and illustrator with over a decade of freelance experience creating captivating visuals for print, web, and digital media—from logos and branding guides to websites, icons, animations, and social media campaigns for clients like online casinos.

I teach Adobe classes, graphic design, art, color and design, typography, anatomy, character design, web design, and application development at institutions like Visual College of Art and Design, empowering students to master tools like Photoshop, Illustrator, Figma, and XD while blending creativity with practical skills.

Holding a Graphic Design Technology Diploma with Honours from CDI College and degrees in Psychology and Science from the University of Calgary, I leverage insights into human perception, user behavior, and analytics to craft intuitive, engaging designs that resonate and drive results.

Based in Alberta, I'm always excited to collaborate on projects that turn bold ideas into stunning realities
