It's my goal to create work that sparks something playful in the viewer, through simple colourful illustration. My work can also be inspired by real moments, resulting in more whimsical illustrations. My inspirations and process allow me to understand that I can create in more than one style, and incite more than one emotion.

Stratford Resource Bins are a social venture that started on campus in September. We're a take what you need, leave what you can food bank located in the 1B stairwell. Through donations from staff and students, we also supply the students of the Stratford School with menstrual products in all the women's washrooms on campus, and grab-and-go snacks in each of the kitchenettes. In addition to providing resources, we also aim to educate students about food insecurity and healthy options on a budget.

We will be collecting cash donations which go towards our student programming!

This project was the first major project I have worked since graduating GBDA in 2018. At the beginning, the amount of deliverables I was being counted on to achieve seemed daunting. In a literal sense, I had to 'rethink' how my company represented itself, but on a more personal level I also needed to re-frame my own perspective of myself. I was no longer a student with no experience or knowledge; I had real skills, and people were counting on me to use them with confidence. Through this project I learned to cast aside the feeling that I was an impostor in my own field, and grow into the confidence I felt as a creator.

Creativity to me is reflecting your own essence into another a form and letting it take on new life. So, while I'd like to say that its the beautiful final result; or the things that I learn; or seeing a happy customer at the end of the day that drives me to create, the truth is that what drives me to create is simply the act of creating. I find the idea of creating something from nothing incredibly freeing. Whether its a drawing, or a website, or even business cards, what draws me to make something is simply the fact that I have the power to create it.

The world of web development is often misconstrued as belonging to "technology". Having experienced the schism of in cohesion found between developers and designers that permeates many companies today I strive to bridge these gaps by using web development as a medium of design. For me, my IDE is a canvas and the language and frameworks I build with are the brushes. With a passion to beautify the web firmly rooted in a philosophy of accessibility for all I work with a drive to create websites and web applications that go beyond just meeting basic ARIA standards, but rather that is innovative, intuitive and iterative. Drawing from my own experiences struggling against arthritis, I learned at an early age the impact that accessibility on function. Today I apply this passion to every website I create, and to make the world an easier place to live in.

Through my art, I've come to an understanding that no matter how insignificant or unappealing an individual is, it has its part within a beautiful whole. Creating made me begin to appreciate the details in the world. I find samples from sources spanning from landscapes, to stains on a wall. Nothing is exempt from my work.

At my booth I will be selling a limited supply of t-shirts. The shirts feature one of my favourite designs - being toshi the ghost man.

Some goodies and prints that reflect my best work ready to have their new home and respective owner inspired by the dawn of artistic ingenuity: the renaissance of the 16th century. Heavily taking inspiration from architecture, fashion and color, I used the light to create works of wonder; a nod to the past but a fresh, modern and sometimes humorous take on some pieces, while others are more solemn and calming. Size of prints come in postcard form or medium size to perhaps send them through mail on exchange trips or just whimsical decorations in their room (to maybe stare down and judge them for eating midnight snacks). A section of the booth dedicates a basket of gently used artist materials and tools that I am able to purchase, yet no longer have a use for so they will be sold at very cheap prices to help struggling artists have an initial step to creating art. All proceeds will be towards materials and research towards Project Ada to build the prototype, cast in resin and customize by not only myself but a collective effort from supporters.

Selling: Postcards (20-30 pieces) 4' x 6', Medium size prints (10-15 pieces) 8.5' x 11', Art bin of used items (lots of misc stuff to sell to other struggling artists for $1, $2 or $3), Commissioned orders (negotiate price)

I would love to do live paintings, a new passion I have discovered, where I can sell portraits and small paintings, while also doing live paintings in my booth while people come through to chat and browse my services.
