OBJECTIVE Full time employment in graphic design; the application of skills and training and the fulfilment of a desire to learn and grow.


EDUCATION 2002-2006 NSCAD University, Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada
Bachelor of Design (Honors) Major in Communication Design
Receiving an under graduate degree in not only the best institution of its kind in the country, but also in my home town has given me a wide understanding of art and design as well as the confidence to begin to work on a freelance basis years before even graduating.

2005 (winter) The Cooper Union for the Advancement of Science and Art, New York NY
Exchange/Mobility Program

During a brief stay in the big apple, I studied Advanced Graphic Design Authorship, Typography, Motion Graphics and Decadent Literature. I was involved in several exhibitions and assisted an Artist and gallery part-time.

2000-2001 Nova Scotia Community College, Halifax NS
Applied Communication Arts Diploma

The Program at NSCC gave me a solid foundation for my further studies, as well as the technical skills that have given me an advantage ever since.

INTERNSHIP 2005 Deitch Projects Gallery & Mr. Ryan Mcguinness, New York NY
What was supposed to be a temporary position at Deitch Projects Art Parade in SOHO, resulted as a part time studio assistant to Mr. Mcguinness himself. I helped in the production and installation of his work in the months leading up to his solo exhibition: INSTALLATIONVIEW at Deitch Projects.

EXHIBITION Honours Entrance Portfolio Exhibition
September 2003
Anna Leonowans Gallery, Halifax NS

Upon entering the Honours Program, the first task was to completely self organise a class exhibition of entrance portfolios. This was the beginning of the studio relationship that taught me so much.

Consume This - 16 Interpretations of Communication Design

We leave the Honors Program the same way we enter: this exhibition was focused on the design process, and the many manifestations held in the minds and work of my classmates and I.

Exchange Exhibition 2005
December 2005
The Great Hall Gallery, Cooper Union NYC

Another exchange student from NSCAD and I initiated an exchange student exhibition. We worked with international students who had as many cultures as disciplines to create a unified and coherent exhibition.
