I’m a Vancouver-based illustrator with a BA in Design: Illustration from the Ontario College of Art and Design and an MA in the same degree from the Glasgow School of Art in Scotland. I’ve contributed my skills to notable local brands, including Aritzia and Hills Dry Goods. My design philosophy revolves around a holistic approach, drawing inspiration from nature and found media. I prioritise positive values and good vibes while ensuring my work represents the communities it impacts the most.
My work is rooted in a reportage-heavy illustration style, where my sketchbook acts as a visual catalog of iterative patterns, silhouettes, and structures. These explorations serve as the foundation for my larger format paintings and drawings. My use of found media as a surface introduces layers of texture and history, creating a bridge between the viewer and the artist. At the core of my practice is a fascination with the interaction between people, places, and architecture, reflecting how these elements influence one another.
