I’ve worked for the same company for over a decade, it has just changed names several times: Twist Image became Mirum Agency in 2015, Mirum became Wunderman Thompson in 2020, and WT became VML in 2024. In my current role I oversee all the design work for our digital clients including: Dairy Farmers of Canada, Danone, Activia, RedBull, KAO (Biore, Jergens), TJX Canada (Winners, Marshalls, HomeSense), Lussier Insurance. I have led website redesigns with comprehensive design systems; developed full brand identity refreshes; designed digital and social campaigns; created educational videos and games for children; I’ve even created a couple TV ads. I am a hands-on mentor for my team – we meet every week and I teach them everything I learn (and vice versa). I am an absolute stickler for organization ensuring that everyone (in our larger group) builds, names, and saves their files correctly. I taught the company’s very first Wunderman Thompson University™ course and I was awarded the agency’s WonderAward™ for Creative Pitbull in 2018. I also host a Friday afternoon boardgames event called Nerd Alert!

(Formerly Mirum Agency)As Senior Art Director I continued to be a leader and brand steward on the TD account. I led a large team of designers through a redesign of most of TD’s website content: Credit Cards, Personal Lending, Mortgages, Saving & Investing. I developed loads of video content: quirky animations to explain their new mobile app features; documentaries featuring real customers (a first for TD) and their savings habits; a selection of CEOs giving testimonials for TD Commercial Banking; a mini-series for first-time homebuyers – this last project representing the culmination of my efforts to humanize the bank. I wore other hats at the office: volunteer fridge cleaner, karaoke ear worm, official cutter of birthday cakes, and of course, financial advisor. And I I was awarded the agency’s WonderAward™ for Best Collaborator in 2014 and 2017.

(Formerly Twist Image)On my very first day I started designing TD Canada Trust’s back-to-school digital program, Pump It Up, which would run for 5 consecutive years and win several awards. With this initial success and my penchant for personal finance, I was fully immersed in the TD account and became the agency’s (and often the client’s) subject matter expert. I designed content and tools for TD’s website to help people understand RRSPs, TFSAs, GICs, and many other acronyms. Our TD business blossomed and the team grew with it. I created and managed a vast array of digital templates and image and audio libraries to ensure that our work was consistently on brand. I also worked on the agency’s other anchor client, Dairy Farmers of Canada, producing a highly successful video campaign for their Milk Calendar; a twisted banner campaign for their teen microsite Get a Load of Milk; and educational videos for Get Enough, their nutrition program.

My stint at Tribal DDB was both brief and beverage-focused. I helped pitch a dark augmented reality story for Guinness; a large-scale outdoor AR experience for Lipton Tea; an off-the-wall spokes-unicorn for Lipton Brisk Iced Tea; and forged a partnership between Crown Royal and the NHL. And for solid foods, I built a microsite for Knorr Sidekicks’ loveable character Salty.

Once upon a time Bell Canada had two spokes-beavers named Frank & Gordon; these guys were the focus of my days at Fjord. I designed dozens of digital campaigns (display banners and emails) and created myriad scenarios, outfits, and witty dialogue for the Bell beavers. Upon their eventual retirement I moved to our General Motors account to be a key designer on the Saturn Canada website, and later, digital display campaigns.

As AOL pivoted from an exclusive content provider for its subscribers to an open digital publisher, my own role became increasingly more digital. This also coincided with the renaissance of the banner ad. I designed and developed dozens of Flash banner campaigns for AOL products, including pioneering the use of integrated XML feeds for AOL Radio banners that could show what was being played live. I also developed my Flash skills further and built fully immersive content experiences for AOL Sessions Canada: a slick browser and player for exclusive music performances; and a charmingly jaunty world to tout the benefits of KOL (Kids Online).

Do you remember the free-trial CDs that AOL constantly sent in the mail? Well I designed several of those, and if you signed up for a free trial, then you helped me beat the control design in our relentless A/B testing. In this role I focused primary on direct marketing. I helped define the branding for Netscape Online (AOL’s low-cost dial-up provider) and designed several print and DM campaigns including a very successful hyper-targeted campaign to Ontario’s cottage country. As Netscape Online expanded, I designed the identity and branding for Netscape Nitro, along with DM pieces (and of course CDs). I also produced digital content for AOL 9.0, the original walled-garden internet.
