What I'm looking for

I'm looking to create packaging, web, print, and campaign design that strengthens brands, while continuing to learn new tools, techniques, and technologies.

I've designed packaging, campaigns, websites, and branded print for Preston Hardware, Instant Pot, iPolitics, Lee Valley Tools, and the Ottawa Senators.

At Preston Hardware, I create monthly product flyers, social graphics, email campaigns, white-label door equipment packaging, and current WordPress content. I also photograph and edit products for campaigns, web content, and promotional materials.

My work spans packaging production, catalogs, e-commerce, print magazines, event materials, and digital marketing. I use Adobe Creative Cloud, WordPress, HTML, and CSS to turn product information and brand guidelines into clear, consistent design.
