I’m a Director, Creative Director & Art Director
I have 15 years experience working at agencies including DDB, Cossette and 123west developing award-winning creative for brands like Volkswagen, McDonald’s, LinkedIn, Netflix, Nintendo, Sleeman, Lululemon, Playland, and Canadian Milk. When I’m not directing or coming up with campaign ideas, I’m probably illustrating or watching re-runs of The Simpsons (specifically seasons 1-10).
