Here's a little bit about me;
- I am a self taught, award winning photographer and visual artist.
- I'm proud to have designed award-winning brands throughout my graphic design career, including wmnsWORK and Ontario Tourism Summit, and Tourism Opportunities Forum.
- I have had the most fun in my career when I designed a bespoke limited edition beer label, Ignite, for Red Tape Brewery.
- I love speaking on topics that matter to me, no matter the size of the audience. Talk to me about media, open education, design, UX and community building!
- My social innovation venture FoodUNITY, bringing together underrepresented populations across Toronto to explore their passions in culinary arts and urban gardening while providing a unique experience for inbound and outbound travelers, has won second place in UNDP's 2020 Global Goals Jam.
- Learning & Development is another purposeful passion of mine. I have been lucky work in instructional design spaces alongside providing consulting services for learning management.
- Throughout my studies in tourism and marketing, I've been a part of various research projects, most notably Centennial College's Ecotourism research trip in Zagora, Morocco.
Turkiye!
United States! I've never been but I ADORE all of the destination marketing campaigns that their DMOs come up with.
I spent a lot of my early years in the tour and F&B spaces.
How tourism can help us build stronger local communities!
Purpose, respect, understanding
