About

With more than five years of experience in my pocket, hands, and brain, I'm an Associate Creative Director at Salt XC in Toronto, leading 3D, experiential, multidisciplinary design, and creative operations. I bridge strategic thinking with hands-on execution – building the systems and workflows that turn ideas into reality. My background is in craft and design, which means I understand what it actually takes to make something excellent. Outside the studio, I'm a numismatist, a museum enjoyer, and a professional violinist.
