I'm a Canadian Director
& Art Director

I’ve worked at agencies like DDB, Cossette and 123west developing creative for various brands including Volkswagen, McDonald’s, 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 Seinfeld or the Simpsons (specifically seasons 1-10).

Canada: BOLDLY

I take on other freelance art direction and directing projects worldwide.
