In Toronto, I find constant inspiration in the dynamic interplay between the urban landscape and nature's persistent reclamation of overlooked spaces. This contrast fuels my photography, a practice of capturing fleeting moments and subtle details often missed in our daily rush, inviting a moment of quiet appreciation. This attentiveness to detail has been a consistent thread throughout my creative journey. Whether through a camera lens or a broader visual perspective, I am drawn to the hidden beauty and subtle patterns that create harmony. This visual acuity has proven invaluable in both my academic pursuits and professional endeavors. From a childhood spent exploring nature with a pencil or camera in hand, my passion for art and the natural world led me to McMaster University, where I developed critical thinking and creative strategies. Consequently, my artistic explorations and professional experiences have equipped me with a rich visual vocabulary applicable across various design contexts. My decade in branding provided a unique opportunity to define and manage the visual identity of a vibrant Canadian company, a role that demanded a deep understanding of visual communication and the ability to translate core values into compelling creative work.
