I started my ‘agency’ career in 2005 working on various clients and a lifestyle magazine. In 2007 I moved to Toronto and started working with Dashboard as an Art Director on Digital and Direct marketing. In 2010 I joined Grey Canada and become their Digital User Experience Lead & Associate Creative Director, helping Grey Canada win ADCC’s 2013 Agency Of The Year.
In 2015 I Left Grey to Co-lead the complete transformation of Dashboard, from a 16-year-old marketing firm into a Software SaaS Development Company as their CCO and continued with Vicimus after they acquired Dashboard in 2017 (where I became VP, Creative Strategy, then CCO). You can read about that and see projects in my client-side section.
For those keeping track…
