I’m a Canadian illustrator, designer and printmaker, based in a beautiful seaside town in Wicklow, Ireland.
I studied at OCAD University, graduating with a BDes in Art Direction for Advertising and a minor in Communication Design, and have over 8 years of experience in communication design. My practice blends Art Direction, Design, and Illustration to create visuals that are both meaningful and engaging.
Inspired by nature, culture, and shared experiences, I create detailed illustrations that balance precision with organic forms. I work across digital and traditional mediums—including pencil, pen, paint, linocut, and Risograph—and explore my mixed heritage through nature-inspired patterns that celebrate cultural connections.
My client work spans STEM worksheets, biodiversity boards, and exhibition illustrations, bringing complex concepts to life through clear, compelling, and visually engaging designs.

When I’m not illustrating, I’m designing at Stop-A-While Studio.
In 2020, I founded Stop-A-While Studio, inspired by my grandparents' diner and post office, where people always came first. Specialising in branding and graphic design, we collaborate with creative agencies, small business owners, and entrepreneurs to bring ideas to life. We create concept-driven design solutions that form meaningful connections between our clients and their audiences.
