Being RGD offers me pride in my profession and a voice in a larger whole. As a gateway to a community of like-minded individuals, it constantly inspires and rewards -- creatively and professionally.

Being a student board member during the run up to accreditation, the day the Government of Ontario officially recognized the RGD ranks right up there. But truthfully, I find just about every RGD event memorable. Case in point, the Future by Design series just this week. But if I had to pick one, It would be the Typographic Exposition all the way back in 1996. It proved the RGD could (and would) always dream big.

Looking back, my life has been filled with instances that could have led to no other inevitability. I've always had an interest in communicating ideas visually, whether I always knew it or not. But it probably started with my Dad's sign painting and lettering books when I was young.

A calm, even-tempered attitude that's rarely ruffled. A devilishly sly wit. A drive to over-achieve. And design chops to boot.

Still doing work I enjoy for appreciative clients.
