I am a Canadian artist/illustrator/designer working from my house in the woods of Halifax, Nova Scotia. My work is bold & playful, with regular dips into the realm of the weird.
I work in all sorts of areas creating and designing illustration-focused work for everything from beer cans, package design, and branding material, to promotional illustration, illustration for publishing, mural/surface illustration and more. My creative motto is “Be Nice, have fun, make good stuff!” and I try to make it visible in all of my work.

The Best Fit
My perfect fit for projects and clients is anyone looking to do something fun, unique, and possibly just a little bit weird. I love working on projects that involve just covering something in art! I enjoy working with companies of all sizes, educational institutions, music and entertainment media, publishing, and more. My favourite work often comes from projects where I’m given a lot of creative freedom to just go wild and make something that looks great!
