THE DETAILS

I'm a Trinidad-born Canadian creative who has always found excitement in exploring different visual disciplines and bringing ideas to life. Since graduating from OCAD University in 2007 with a Bachelor of Design in Advertising, I've worked as a hands-on Art Director at creative agencies in Toronto, London, UK, Amsterdam, Rome and NJ/NYC. I help brands engage audiences through my visual and conceptual contributions. I've overseen creative campaigns, mentored passionate creatives, and learned from leaders in the field, and have helped brands of all kinds and sizes evolve their businesses to speak to the audiences they'd like to reach.

In 2009, in order to create better experiences for devices and delve deeper into how digital design is evolving, I studied Web Development at Ryerson University, and moved into a specialty in UI/UX Design. I applied this to my work at agencies such as Proximity Canada and London, Publicis, Wunderman, LBi and Miomni, as well as for clients such as Prudential Financial, Virgin Media, PGA Tour, Nestle, and now, TD Canada. In 2019, I returned to Ryerson to obtain a Certificate in Film Studies.

​
After working outside of my hometown, Toronto, for 8 of my 13 years in the advertising industry, I repatriated in 2019, and work at  TD Bank / Agency 361 as Senior Art Director. When I'm not creating for TD's businesses, I enjoy writing, shooting photos, discovering cities by bike, practicing movement, and conversing with new friends. I'd love to learn about and create with you. Say hello!
