RENUVO

VISUAL DESIGN & COMMUNICATIONS DIRECTOR 

INTERIOR & ENVIRONMENTAL DESIGNER

TORONTO / VANCOUVER / NEW YORK / PARIS

In 2010, I founded Renuvo as my design stage and creative playground where I could amalgamate all my unique creative strengths in order to break free from the mundane and outdated formalities of visual communication and design.

I have had the pleasure of working with an international clientele from a variety of business sectors. From musicians to physicians, from start-ups to veterans, from branding packages to massive billboards, from branded spaces to exhibit booths. I relish in every chance I get to design solutions that break the subconscious confines

of mediocrity.
