I am a creative individual with a strong attention to detail and a deep need to understand and overcome any problem I encounter. I’m self-starting and driven, and I spend my downtime studying, learning, or creating.
I was born in a small town in Northwestern Ontario, Canada, and after high school, I moved to Ottawa to attend the University of Ottawa. There, I earned a bachelor’s degree in Visual Arts, focusing on sculpture, along with a minor in Business Administration from the Telfer School of Management. This combination of artistic and business education has influenced both my approach to creativity and my career.
After university, I struggled to settle on a single medium. The transition from the hands-on studio environment to a more structured, "no-mess" space was challenging. It was during this time that I began exploring a wide range of materials, from various painting and drawing mediums to clay, textiles, and even discarded objects.
While I’ve always found inspiration in traditional forms of art, I’ve learned that my creativity can follow whatever path it chooses. My work is focused on upcycling and finding new, creative uses for items that would otherwise be discarded. Through this practice, I aim to explore the relationship between art, value, and sustainability—inviting others to see the potential in the overlooked and the everyday.
