I'm the founder and designer here at Vision City design studio. I've been running my own freelance studio for about 15 years, specializing in music packaging, logo design and promotional pieces. My clients have ranged from record labels, bands, corporate clients, and start up companies. 

I studied graphic design at George Brown College in Toronto, where I also worked for several years as a fashion model. After relocating to California in 2011, I decided to launch my first art print collection on Etsy, consisting of 12 black and white illustration prints. This became my new signature look and to this day, its the look I am known for.

I have had my art prints featured on Fab.com (USA and Europe), received several licensing deals (Land Of Nod, Ross, Wayfair, Walmart), sold my prints wholesale in the USA and Canada and showcased my work at countless trade shows, art shows and craft fairs. In 2018 I launched The Art Business Podcast. On the bi-weekly show I shared tips and insights about selling art online and running a freelance design business. Although I loved creating this show, my design business became more busy requiring me to focus my attention. However, there are still over 30 episodes available to download and enjoy!

Vision City is now a tri-purpose studio offering online courses, design service and inspiring art products. Serving people is at the heart of my studio and I feel blessed to be creative everyday.
