I love to explore branding, packaging design, social media, marketing, and hands-on projects!I graduated from Langara's Design Formation Program. As a student there, I’ve gotten the opportunity to be a part of some truly awesome projects, such as “Brown Paper Couture” and “Urgent Sea” — a travelling exhibit that has been showcased at Science World, The Museum of Vancouver, and The Maritime Museum! In my free time, I own and operate a little Etsy shop. Where I illustrate cute and cheesy greeting cards, called Fizzle & Bang.Currently, I am a Sales Associate at Urban Source Vancouver!
