Hi there.
Now that you’ve seen some of my work (thanks for looking!), I will attempt to give you
a few tidbits that will help you get to know me better.
Currently, I run a busy freelance business on Canada’s beautiful East Coast. As such, I understand the business side of the business as well as the creative side.
My first creative job was designing gravestones for a monument salesman. No kidding.
I’m easy to work with, articulate, and diplomatic. I listen well and have a bucket-load of patience. I’ve been doing this for almost 20 years and can still approach every problem with enthusiasm and drive.
BRAND EXPERIENCE
Now I’ll move on to the gritty details I know you’re waiting for. Over the years, I’ve helped many brands in all kinds of industries become more memorable. Here’s the short list.
Nissan Canada, McNeil Consumer Products, Novartis Animal Health, Nova Scotia Health Authority, Atlantic Lottery Corporation, General Motors, BMW, Sobeys, Keg Steakhouse & Bar, Nova Scotia Tourism, Destination Halifax, Canada Bread, Bell Aliant, Nova Scotia Come To Life, Nova Scotia Community College, EastLink, McDonald's Canada, Halifax Public Libraries.
