I was always labelled the “shy one” or the “quiet one” at family gatherings, and even school group activities and other social functions. Being an impressionable child, I just believed what I was told and didn’t actually do anything about it. I don’t think I noticed, as I grew older, that I could carry on one-on-one [...]

The Facilities Management department at London Health Sciences Centre needed to improve its public profile at the hospital, and one strategy was to produce a Year in Review report to deliver key messages and showcase good work. I wrote the content, took many of the photos, and designed the document for the 16-page report. Content [...]

The Facilities Management department at London Health Sciences Centre needed to improve its profile within the hospital's culture. The internal website I developed served to increase transparency and communication, while showcasing the good work done by the department. I was responsible for writing, photography, and management of the intranet site.  A working group arrived at [...]

Liar is the third song I've worked on with dance-pop music singer-songwriter Dokter Nomi. I first met Nomi at the Song Talk Meetup group in Toronto. He has a unique approach to songwriting, compared to myself and most of the singer-songwriters I know. Nomi comes up with melodies and lyrics, but doesn't play any instruments. [...]

I was intrigued by the premise of the movie Yesterday; an English singer-songwriter who finds he's the only one in the world who remembers the Beatles music after a freak accident. This is a unique idea and relatively refreshing after a barrage of mediocre musical hero bio-pics in recent memory. Watching the movie, I often [...]

I worked closely with Tony Dagnone, the former CEO of London Health Sciences Centre, on his presentation for the 2016 CHES Conference. Tony wanted to see some creative "whiteboard" illustrations to bring some visual interest to his narrative. For these animations, I used a combination of stock drawings and my own illustrations. Most of the [...]

I've always had an interest in astro-photography, having previously taken star trail photos and of course, the moon. One subject I hadn't yet tackled yet was the milky way, or at least the slim, tiny portion that's visible from Earth. The most important thing you need for successful astro-photography is a clear, dark sky. Knowing [...]

I designed a few promotional event flyers for music shows in Toronto. Deadlines were very tight, and I provided files suitable for both printing and sharing on social media, including banners for the Facebook events.
