About Me.
Hello, I'm a professional graphic designer and illustrator from Toronto, Canada. I focus on bringing a clean, professional look to each piece I create - adhering to your brand's branding standards. Skilled in both print and signage. Graduated from Seneca college with honours (graphic design) in 2020 and honours (illustration) 2022. When not creating I enjoy cooking and baking and spending time with my pets!
