ABOUT

Art, much like poetry, can generate wonder and visually coax us into exploring a viewpoint outside of our own. Art is not just about making the world more beautiful but creating a world filled with more understanding.

I graduated from Harvard manga cum laude with highest honours in English & Art, Film, and Visual Studies. I studied a myriad of mediums, including drawing, photography, graphic design, sculpture, painting, and film. My dual degree has fostered my diverse skill set which I use in my freelance work, from designing logos to working on commissioned art to copyediting. 

While I have lived in the United States, I grew up in Toronto, Canada. Art greatly interested me from a young age: I was always creating, by sewing outfits, taking photographs, and drawing. As I became older, I focused more on my art and learning new mediums. In high school, I had my art displayed in a downtown Toronto art gallery. At Harvard, I won several awards for my senior thesis that combined poetry with sculpture and photography. One award was the Captain Johnathan Fay Prize: I was selected by senior Harvard Faculty members as one of the three graduating seniors whose theses reflected the most insightful, original research and creative work in any field and among their class. As a result of another award, the Thomas Temple Hoopes Prize, my senior thesis was bound and kept in Lamont Library.

I previously was the Head Graphic and Web Designer for the Space Consortium at Harvard and MIT and later worked at Penguin Random House Canada with an editorial team. As a graphic and web designer, I work with businesses to create logos, websites, merchandise, and more. I design graphics and cohesive brand aesthetics to help solidify their unique identity and niche in the marketplace. 

I have worked on numerous art commissions for private clients across the USA and Canada. I aim to create pieces that explore the mind and emotions and provoke viewers into seeing the world through a different lens; I wish to create enriching beauty.
