Graphic Design

As an experienced graphic designer I’ve explored a broad range of the design spectrum from traditional print design, motion design, UI/UX design, production design, photography, and retouching. This holistic approach enables me to bring an integrated mindset to all the projects I work on. It gives me insights into how all these different elements can work together most effectively, most efficiently and aids me in directing and leading all members of a team to produce their best work.

I’M THINKING A LOT ABOUT

Motion. Several years back I noticed that almost everywhere I went, spaces that used to contain print-based ads and posters were being replaced with screens. At that time I dove much more deeply into motion design; I saw the potential to enhance messages for ad audiences and enhance the user experience through micro interactions in the UX space.

UI/UX

In my last full-time role, I was involved in several UI/UX projects with a particular focus on developing brand identities, creating and maintaining many design libraries and complex components within Figma as well as marketing materials, websites and online advertising for a wide range of clients and industries.

I also mentored colleagues in Figma through regularly scheduled classes.

I continue to engage with UI/UX through courses with the Interactive Design Foundation and RGD Canada.

YOU SHOULD HIRE ME BECAUSE

I’m always thinking about efficiency and ways to accomplish design goals in faster, more efficient ways. I’m always learning; I incorporate those learnings that enhance or replace older ones. I enjoy sharing these new skills with my team. I have a broad skillset from many different disciplines that help me to contribute to teams in multiple ways.

Retouching / Production

I have worked as a professional retoucher and production designer for more than 15 years. I’ve worked in most sectors from automotive, retail, telecommunications, and beauty to food. I have experience in the complete gamut of retouching from photo resizing, colour correction and grading to complex image composition. As I production designer I have extensive experience in print and digital and have worked in studio management roles.
