A brief history: I am a lover of aesthetics, and consumer of culture. Fashion, art, and design inform my tastes and perspective, and are evident in my life and work. I received my undergrad in Broadcast Journalism at Ryerson University in Toronto before attending Parsons The New School of Design for Fashion Marketing. Living in New York City was a priceless experience that included internships at Vogue, WWD, and Black Frame PR, where I would then go on to work in Public Relations with their clients Rodarte, Acne, Nicholas Kirkwood, and Opening Ceremony amongst others, plus meet Mario Testino, have a run in with Courtney Love, and send out hundreds of looks to celebrity stylists and magazines. Once in London I was immersed in the wave of young British designers that are now household names, Peter Pilotto, Roksanda, and J.W Anderson. Living in London provided a rich cultural experience at my favorite intersections - Fashion, design, music, and art. — LWL
