About Me

I was born and raised near the waves of Newfoundland and now live amidst the concrete of downtown Toronto.

I am a true lover of all things creative, especially web design. My childhood was filled with playdough, arts, crafts, and making plush toys out of old socks so naturally I was destined to work in a creative field.

When I was 13, I would use what I now know as HTML and CSS to customize my MySpace page (iykyk). Once I realized that I could use those skills in a career, there was no looking back. Over the years, my roles have ranged from visual merchandising to retail operations, social media manager, and most recently web design and development; a space where I truly feel at home.

When I am not doing design work, I can be found taking ballet classes, drawing doodles from my imagination, documenting my life in photos, DIY-ing something, and spending time in nature or other parts of the world.
