Meet the Designer

Born in Port-au-Prince and raised in Nanaimo, I am an Islander at heart, outdoor enthusiast, Vancouver-based designer, and lifelong creator. With over 10 years of professional experience, including senior graphic design work at veritree, I help lifestyle brands and purpose-driven organizations bring thoughtful, strategic design to life.

I hold a Bachelor of Arts in Graphic Design from Vancouver Island University and have spent the last decade shaping brands, campaigns, and visual stories across print, digital, and illustration. My design style blends contemporary minimalism with warm, flat illustration, a visual language that helps lifestyle brands feel personal, intentional, and distinct. My work has been featured on Canada’s Science World’s Instagram, Really Good Emails, and exhibited at the Nanaimo Art Gallery, recognition that reflects my commitment to clarity, creative storytelling, and visual impact.

When I am not designing, drawing or capturing the world around me, you can find me listening to my favourite musicians, reading a good book, learning a new hip hop dance, kickboxing, or planning my next adventure.

I believe design should do good, feel good, and help good thrive. Like nature itself, my design philosophy is simple: do no harm, or leave it better than how you found it. I choose sustainable materials, work with clients whose values align with mine, and use design to support meaningful causes.
