about me
I’m a Digital Graphic Designer for Book Outlet focusing on web, email, and social channels for the brand. Although I’ve been fully immersed in designing for Book Outlet, I’ve been trying to consistently create branding, logo designs, and keeping up with my small POD business on Etsy and RedBubble in hopes of actually turning into a hands-on full-time business.
I’ve explore many styles of design to find my own touch, and as much as I want to say I’ve found it, I’m still building my character. For the past 5 years growing in my profession, I hope that with each design I make, I leave my creative mark for generations to see.

education
I started my passion in Graphic Design in high school designing yearbook spreads to school play posters. This lead me to be chosen to enter in the Niagara Catholic Technological Skills Competition in 2018 winning third place for my school. It was
a huge achievement that pushed me to pursue design in Toronto. I took Graphic Design at Centennial College exploring different fields of design through collaborations with the Fashion Design students, group projects, and my first client work with Pinnacle Elements Inc.
certifications
I try to learn something new and expand my knowledge and skill sets to become a better designer each day. Here are my certifications:
experience
Pinnacle Elements Inc. — November 2021 to December 2021
As a project for college, I had to find a client and help them with their design needs. I reached out to a family friend that so happen to need a logo for their brand. I worked for their start-up business called Pinnacle Elements Inc., a wholesale e-commerce for chemical distributions. This was a challenge at first because due to the nature of the business being corporate and serious, a stark contrast to what I usually design. But nonetheless, they were delighted with their logo and the process.
Book Depot Inc. — March 2022 to Present
Then I started a field placement at Book Depot Inc. in Thorold, Ontario. After graduating, I was offered a full-time placement as their Graphic Designer working on various brands; Book Depot, Book Outlet, and KidsBooks. Within 18 months, I was promoted to Digital Graphic Designer mainly focusing on two of their brands; Book Outlet and KidsBooks. Feel free to check out some of my works under Book Outlet and KidsBooks.
Freelance Designer — 2022 to Present
I explored many different paths of side hustles, from Fiverr to Contra, but it never worked out for me. I found myself creating designs and selling them through a print-on-demand services like RedBubble and Etsy through Printify. But I’m always open to working with clients but through different means than Fiverr or Contra.
