About Me

About Me
- I am a creative.
  Yes, I just used creative as a noun; us creatives can do that.
  
  I am originally from Regina, Saskatchewan and left everything behind to pursue my passion for creativity. Due to the lack of design schools and design jobs in Saskatchewan, I moved to Edmonton, where I studied design for five years. I've been working in the design industry for over three years and I just absolutely love it!
  
  I have also sparked a strong interest in advertising and copywriting for campaigns, because what is cooler than being the sole creative genius behind a full campaign?!
