I went to school to study graphic design at George Brown College from 1988-1991. In the next couple of years I found casual work in graphic design and part-time jobs such as watering and casual labour. In August 1994-Jan. 1995 I worked at SD Graphics doing primarily pre-press work, which involved trapping, typesetting and film output. In 1995-1998 I got a job in graphic design at Rockprint Inc. We were the in-house graphics to Johnvince Foods. I feel here is where I really grew as a graphic artist. I did everything from corporate design, package design, pre-press (trapping and film output) to digital photography. From there I continued to take on taking in casual job from Aquent partners and my own free-lance work. In 1999 I got a graphic design position at Yellow Pages Group (formally Bell Actimedia). I created black/white and full colour process ads from ¼ to full-pagefor various clients in a range of professions in this popular print directory. I studied web design at Humber College and Ryerson in 2010 and continuing to take PHP courses at Seneca College.
