About Me

Hello folks! I'm a born and raised Canadian designer with a focus around service, industrial and visual communications design. I am passionate about the intersection between social impact and design and aim to address issues around inclusivity, sustainability, and international development. Over the last year, I was living abroad in Ghana working around development and design and I'm off to Vietnam next!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I seek adventure and to try new things, see new places and meet new people. I'm interested in the interactions we have that shape us to who we are, so I love getting to know new people from varying backgrounds and to hear their stories! Having hitchhiked in Canada, France, Switzerland, and Ghana, I've encountered many interesting characters and listened to many stories that I normally wouldn't have on a regular day. I want to meet unexpected people and stay up late talking about hypothetical situations, culture, things we hate and love, what we believe in and all that jazz. I'd love to hear about the hidden gems of your city and hit up all the dive bars and try some local beers.
