Duration: I’ve been working professionally four-and-a-half years. Staff: Currently I work as the design director at Collins: in New York City. Education: A bachelor’s in design from the Alberta College of Art and Design in Calgary, AB, and a Masters in design from the School of Visual Arts in New York. Cultural Influences: Currently I have been staring at Abstract Expressionist painting and work from the designers of the Ulm School. Although, it seems most influences come from maintaining a healthy sense of humor and skepticism in observing everyday occurrence. Environment: An open office at Collins: and a home studio where I can make whatever mess I like. Philosophy: “Being ridiculous is the best part about being human.” —Farley Mowat.
