Creative Collaborations

Crafting meaningful projects through creative partnerships.

As an artist at heart, I am always seeking out ways to collaborate creatively with others. If you’re interested in exploring a creative project together, I’d love to learn more about your ideas and chat about how we can collaborate to bring them to life.

My creative practice

Through the sensory experience of mark making, I scribble other worlds. My work is in constant search of what ignites imagination when my body feels attuned to the things around me.

I play with materials that feel good to touch, see, and smell. From painting to scribbling, drawing to writing, my art gravitates towards other possibilities. My work reflects on the flows that (over)whelm me, helping me locate myself in my body in a world that is often chaotic. It’s a practice of observation and integration.

I grew up in the west end of Ottawa, Canada, before moving to Toronto to pursue a career in interior design, graduating from the Ontario College of Art & Design in 2010. Currently, I work in accessible communications while living a life full of color, light, and texture.

Much like my art, this professional work focuses on creating spaces that welcome divergence and difference. I collaborate with a diverse array of clients, from social enterprises and public sector organizations to collectives and nonprofits.

Five artwork pieces on the ground
