I grew up in Stratford, a picturesque theatre town just forty‑five minutes from Kitchener–Waterloo. At age fourteen I stepped into the world of fine dining at Rundles Restaurant, a traditional French restaurant where every plate, pour, and pivot was timed to stay a step ahead of the guests. That early lesson in orchestration set the stage for everything that followed.

After graduating from OCAD University in 2012 debt‑free, I spent ten weeks criss-crossing Europe, soaking up centuries of architecture and space‑savvy design. Back home I refined my skills at NKPR and Rogers Publishing, helping national brands tell their stories, assisting on commercial shoots, and prototyping digital magazines. I returned to Stratford in 2014 to launch my own freelance studio and purchase my first home.

In my final chapter before transitioning into real estate, I joined Roadtrek, part of
Europe’s largest RV manufacturer. Nine months in, I was promoted to Product Design Manager and began traveling across the United States and Europe to study life on wheels. Those trips inspired a “friction‑free” design philosophy: when beauty and process work together, everyday living feels effortless.

Today, I apply that same eye for detail to real estate. If you’re ready to buy, sell, or have a special project in mind, I’d love to hear from you. Send me an email anytime—new ideas are always welcome in my inbox.

The moments that shaped my perspective.
