I was born into a family of F.C. Barcelona supporters.  The love I had for this team was in my blood before I was born – supporting Barça wasn’t a choice I really made on my own.

​

As a young child, I dreamed of a career as a star footballer, of one day donning the famed “blaugrana” jersey in front of a euphoric crowd. But as I grew older, it quickly dawned upon me that I wasn’t good enough to make it pro — not even close — and so, I turned to my other passions: writing and design.  Thankfully, I wasn't too bad at those.  

 

Upon finishing my first stint at university (English/Spanish), I spent some time travelling and then working a wide variety of jobs: from delivering fridges and furniture by day to writing stories and reviews by night.

 

I then went on to study journalism at the University of Western Ontario and spent a number of years working for a number of newspapers across Canada. I got my start as a photojournalist at the Woolwich Observer in Elmira, ON., where I covered a wide variety of issues: from city council to junior hockey.

 

From weekends at cold arenas in Elmira and Wellesley, I moved on to the Olympic News Service, where I worked as a flash quote reporter covering men's ice hockey at the Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympics. Witnessing this historic Canadian sporting moment, and then talking to the players after — including a glowing Sidney Crosby and Jarome Iginla — was a definite highlight.

​

Following this, I worked as a freelance writer and editor, and as a web editor at the Vancouver Sun (2011-2013), where I worked with reporters and photographers to ensure the web site reflected the dynamic nature of the ever-changing and never-ending local and international news cycles.

 

My seemingly endless pursuit of education continued, as I went on to teach English in downtown Vancouver, where I currently work, and to study graphic design at BCIT. 

 

As a graphic designer with a profound interest and professional background in writing and language, I know what looks good and what sounds great.  It is my aim to offer my clients bold and striking visual products combined with clear and eloquent copy.

​

And as for those old Barça plans? I'm happy watching the games with my wife and daughters!
