I’m a Canadian illustrator and graphic designer based in Calgary, Alberta. I specialize in surface pattern design, illustrated maps, and picture books.

​

I grew up in the tiny francophone village of Zenon Park, in north-east Saskatchewan, then moved to Calgary, Alberta, to attend the Alberta University of the Arts.

​

I began my career working as a graphic designer while maintaining an illustration studio practice and later teaching an illustration class at AUarts. Having always wanted to live in other countries and be exposed to other cultures, I spent a year and a half traveling in Europe, an experience that  heavily influenced my creative work. 

​​​​

I now live in Calgary with my partner, my son, and our cat (who keeps me company in the studio).
