In my graduating year, I created the Design Student Organization (DSO). It was designed so that students, alumni, and industry could collaborate and foster a nurturing community; create great work and new relationships. It has since grown from a local club, to a provincial wide social network of designers and students who are creating a great community for designers to grow. After graduation, I broke into the industry as a compositor for Pixel Blue FX, and worked on a show for the Discovery Channel. When that was done, I worked as a graphic designer for 2 years. My motion skills hit a plateau, so I applied to the prestigious Vancouver Film School’s Digital Design program. I found a mentor, received a scholarship, packed my bags and moved to Vancouver.
That year long program changed my life. Since then, I’ve moved from Vancouver to London and then again to Montreal. I’ve been lucky enough to work with brands like Starbucks, Sky TV, and Apple, through great teams like Blast Radius and Neon Pictures.
Travelling the world and telling stories with different groups of people is what I love to do. Maybe you and I will see each other soon?
