Past life

I studied architecture at the University of Manitoba and have since worked across graphic design, web design, and photography. Most recently, I’ve been working as a freelance graphic designer. I’ve always been drawn to learning new things and tend to fall deep into rabbit holes across a wide range of topics, especially where design, technology, and science intersect.

Moving forward

Over time, I realized I was no longer passionate about the work I was doing and couldn’t see myself continuing in that direction long term. For me, Fab Academy represents a pivot towards physical and industrial design. I see it as an opportunity to work more directly with materials, processes, and ideas in tangible form.

Where am I?

I’m based in Montreal and currently living in Barcelona to complete the Fab Academy program at Fab Lab Barcelona.

My logo

My logo consists of four dots in a 2x2 grid, which represents the letter 'g' in braille. I'd like to place my mark on the objects that I create by using the four raised dots of my logo.
