Web code + graphics
Many different clients, many different industries: I help them communicate their ideas. Logos, stationary, websites, animations and more. Work that gets the message across clearly. Work that gets the job done. I'm an experienced eye, with the technical skills to produce what's needed. Always keeping the client's needs in mind.
My personal time - spent finding the life in a drawing or searching through a camera lens - brings a little more impact and individuality to my work for a client. Look at What I do to get the details. Or take a look through Recent work to see what is happening right now. Already viewed the recent work and want to see more? The Projects Gallery is a comprehensive collection of past work. My goal is to showcase a hard-won skills set, finding the art in every job from branding to webcode, balancing visual impact and function. I hope you enjoy what you find here and that you come away with a good sense of what I do and how I do it. Thanks for taking a look.

After four years studying photography at UofT, taking up the role of team photographer for Canaska Racing seemed like a logical extension of graphic design duties.

Ball and Glove
Shot using a large format camera, this portrait of my father has an atmospheric quality in the style of the earliest photographers. It remains one of my favourite personal works of art.
MCH Emergency Entrance Illustration
Renderings are an invaluable tool to communicate the vision of any major construction project, in this case a hospital redevelopment. In the fundraising community is used to show major-gift donors just how they will be recognized for their contributions before the structures they make possible are even built.
The image was created using Photoshop and traditional 2D art techniques.
