Education


Seneca College – Independent Illustration Diploma

Business-oriented illustration program focusing in all major illustration industries resulting in a strong understanding of both practical application and theoretical methodology.

University of Toronto – Honours Bachelor of Arts with Distinction, Major in English, Double Minor in Philosophy and Writing and Rhetoric

General Arts education used as a method of broadening my mind and increasing my knowledge and understanding of the world around me. Heavily influences my comics work, both in technical writing ability and abstract thinking.

Dalhousie University – Bachelor of Arts, Major in Theatre and Costume Studies

Theatrical and historical based program with costume design elements. Reference point for the majority of my current work in terms of costuming choices and understanding of fabric manipulation. Incomplete degree, transferred after second year.
