Experience
I give a sh*t
I’m driven to solve problems with technology. From building 2 campervans and travelling North America, to building a dog rescue in Mexico, all while creating digital experiences that excite users.
You will find me riding bikes down hills, surfing, skiing or playing guitar in between designing slick intuitive experiences.
I’ve worked everywhere from large agencies to experiential design studios, to startups all over the world and am always looking for the next problem to solve.
Whether that is physical, digital or a mixture of both. My job is to make the technology fade into the background while the experience delights you.
I mastered photoshop when I was 10, I reckon I can figure out any design app or tool you can throw at me! But I love speaking to users and trying to understand what gets them down.
Oh and I am also passionate about building Shopify websites for small businesses to help them sell more product online!

Cerritos Beach Dogs

#Vanlife
In 2020, my wife and I decided to buy a used cargo van and convert it into our dream home. I had never built anything with my hands prior to this, but after several hundred hours of YouTube videos, we built and sold 2 campervans. From designing the functionality and layout, to wiring up complete offgrid electrical systems, I learned so much in bringing an idea to life physically. We spent 2 years travelling in the vans before returning home to Toronto, Canada.
