But what do I do in real life?
I have a varied background. In my first career I taught high school Geography, sometimes using slides I took every summer while wending with friends through Europe or the west coast by bicycle.
A radical career change led to my design education at Ryerson University in Toronto.
Work in film and television led me to find my career as a graphic artist.
My volunteer life is in heritage preservation and as a team lead in an annual cycling fundraiser. To let off steam I instruct Spin classes, and I practice calm with a sketch pad that always accompanies me.
I love modern design, get excited by anything urban and fret about the environment. All of these interests and experiences inform my work in one way or another.
