I change the way people think about their websites and brands.

With extensive experience in web technologies and marketing principles, I help entrepreneurs and business owners put solid strategies in place, crafting websites that are not only beautiful and functional, but actually increase revenue and build community.

Formally trained as a graphic designer, I worked in a small studio environment for 4 years, gaining valuable experience in strategic and conceptual thinking, marketing, branding & identity, design and development. In 2009 I ventured out on my own, and have been helping other entrepreneurs grow their websites and online communities ever since.

I enjoy being part of the “big picture” planning behind a website, and often work as a digital partner with my clients, forming long-term ongoing partnerships with them as I help them grow their brand and digital presence.

Interested in how I can help you with your project? Get in touch!

…I just really want you to know how much JOY you’ve brought to my business via this project. I’ve been doing this “kind of stuff” for a long time and you are THE FIRST web designer that I feel 10,000% in alignment with. Reminds me how vitally important it is for me to trust my first intuition about things like this. You are a dream!

A bit about me:

In late 2011 I sold all my belongings and bought a ticket to Bali — where I lived/worked for several months. That experience got me hooked on the idea of making travel a bigger part of my lifestyle, and I spent the remainder of 2012 couch-surfing, adding a few more pins to my map (including Cambodia, South Korea, Paris, Northern UK, Calgary, Philadelphia, and Seattle).

Currently I am settled in Vancouver, B.C., where I play gaelic football, and go bouldering 3x/week. I am a passionate vegetarian (10+ years), and love to experiment with creating raw and vegan meals.

I am booked solid until September 2013. Have an interesting project that you know I’d be perfect for? Let’s chat!
