About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Going with the flow

ABOUT ME

I was born in Los Angeles but moved to Winnipeg, MB when I was two. Not the wisest choice when it comes to the weather, but the opportunities I've had and friends I've made are more than worth the subzero temperatures. Can't imagine my life without them.

I spent a year out of high school working towards tuition for a Digital Multimedia Technology program. My heart wasn't in it for the long run, and that's when I made the switch to Graphic Design.

Last year I earned my degree in Graphic Design through Red River College. I've traveled a fair bit, but it's been a goal of mine to finally make my way cross seas, especially now that I've graduated. Europe with my best friends this summer!

I've been told that I'm easy to talk to. I'll often break the ice when starting a new job or meeting a group of new faces. Faces! That reminds me, I always remember a face, but can suck with names if we meet briefly. Nothing personal. I'm open minded, adventurous, easy going, and love getting to know new people.

Goals:
Become a prop builder (cosplay)
Produce music (even as a hobby)
Develop an indie game
Keep traveling

PHILOSOPHY

“We’re all stories, in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?”

Audio, Video, Disco (I hear, I see, I learn)
