For recruiters, I’ll say that I'm an award-winning art director with a decade of experience in design and photography. My work has been featured in campaigns and publications around the world, focused largely in the education and public health sectors. I am seeking to leverage my recent education in Humber’s Bachelor of Creative Advertising program to shift my career focus into the world of advertising. As someone passionate about business and with ambitions of pursuing an MBA, I get most excited about campaigns that are rooted in strategy and that measurably impact broader business goals.
To clients, I also emphasize the importance of strategy. If you are looking for design or photography services, the earlier you reach out, the better I can cater my work to address your specific marketing challenges.
And, finally, if you’re here for romantic reconnaissance, a few things you should know about me: when I’m not designing ads or taking photos, I play more volleyball and recreational sports than any grown man should; I have no rhythm but I love 2000s rap; and, I’m not a fan of winter and hope to become a snowbird in the next few years, so a love of travel is a must.
PS. If any recruiters can make that snowbird dream possible with a hybrid work model, I would love to hear from you.
