Ever worry about what it would be like to hire someone for a job they weren't qualified for?
With me you are in good hands, so let me win you over by proving that I'm just the creative guy you're looking for.
Why is being a designer so great? It allows me to create the answer to a problem. You can also find me working on anything from a remix of a song to pulling apart a dusty motorcycle. It's what I do!
In 2009 I graduated from Grant MacEwan University with a diploma in Design and Digital Media.
Since my graduation, I have worked in small studios, companies and on side projects which have helped me become the versatile designer that I am today.
Currently I am employed at Tiko Digital, an online marketing and website developing company.
Since being employed at Tiko Digital, I have had many successes working with a number of local and national clients. Some of the work I have accomplished consists of the design and development of print materials and corporate identities. The design and development of lead generating landing pages, pay per click banner ads (PPC), and websites with search engine optimization (SEO) and Google Analytics. More recently, I have worked as an Art Director of product photography for a local restaurant and an assistant Video Director for a company’s Frequently Ask Questions video clip regarding Canadian Registers Educational Saving Plan’s (RESP).

My job is to design, photograph, and develop results that would put a smile on your 12 year old kid and knock the socks off your 90 year grandmother.
The one thing you have to know me about as a designer, photographer and a developer is that I am a perfectionist. I work hard to get those letters spaced out just perfectly, edit photos exactly how I want them to look and I won’t release a website until it is flawless.
Every job that I take on is not just a new project. Instead, it is the start of a new extension of myself through the work you have hired me to do. Whether it is an idea for a photograph or the revamping of a dusty old website. I work to achieve the goals for your business as if they are my own.
To sum it all up and in a semi-quoted line from a famous movie, this is my life and it is ending one design at a time. And I wouldn’t have it any other way.
