Senior designer, developer and dad based in Ajax, Ontario, focused on creating effective and impactful digital experiences for growing brands.

Selected Work

Collingwood General and Marine Hospital Foundation

I’ve been working with the team at the CGMHF to help them bring communication with their community online, creating their first online Donor Impact Report. Our work has continued, developing new branding for their Monthly Giving Club program and templates for social media communication.

Doing good work, for a good cause, feels good.

Steam Whistle Brewing

Steam Whistle came to me to help them create a custom ordering and customer management system for their internal team. Working closely with all involved stakeholders I created a web application built with Ruby on Rails to meet all of the project requirements. With continued development, we’re working together to create a tool that makes the lives of their sales reps, marketing and creative teams easier on a day to day level.

Helicopters Canada

After finalizing a brand update, Helicopters Canada needed a website to match their new look and feel. With a communication goal of featuring their flight training program, while keeping all content as accessible as possible, a customized WordPress template was created to meet all of the project requirements. Focusing on the clear delivery of content mixed with small Call to Action content blocks, the site update resulted in registrations and inquiries for their programs, discovery flights, charter service and aircraft mechanics all increasing with the brand continuing to grow today.

CN Tower

The internal marketing team at the CN Tower contacted me to bring consistency to their brand messaging. With an established plan in place, we worked together to create new templated designs and elevate the creative execution across multiple customer touchpoints, including: window graphics, wayfinding signage, digital kiosk screens, wall graphics and more.

About

Experienced, but always growing.

Design has been a part of my professional life since 2005. I’ve spent years working for agencies, internal teams and most recently as a Partner in a small studio helping brands develop their voice, launch a new product, build an online presence, or start selling online.

My current focus is on working with React, building highly interactive front-end applications and helping brands create online storefronts with Shopify, but I’m always open to chatting about new opportunities. So if you’re looking to build something new, grow your existing brand or add to your design roster – let’s talk I’d love to hear from you.
