Graduating from OCAD University as an Industrial Designer has been a journey of discovering my passion for creating experiences deeply rooted in our connection to nature. Through hands-on product design, user research, and a systems approach, I'm driven to create solutions that resonate with people's needs.
Photography, which I studied at Humber College, has significantly influenced how I view industrial design.  A decade of capturing sports and events, working with national and international clients, has helped me develop a keen idea for detail while staying tuned to my surroundings, skills that now guide my design process. For me, design is more than just aesthetics; it's about fostering community, embracing adventure, and promoting growth. These values play a part in every project, making my work meaningful and authentic.
