About
Published author and artist, Entrepreneur
Author/Artist of the graphic novel series, The Herd and Farm Freaks.
"We're all drawn differently, but we all dream the same."
An Entrepreneur Author and Artist
-A lifelong passion (obsession) for drawing and writing stories, lead me down the path of being an entrepreneur artist, and author.
After having some work experience with different media companies, I still felt I wanted to tell my own stories, rather than work on someone else's. I spent years developing original characters and stories, which I call my "Accidental Creations", in preparation to eventually share them with the world.
Between 2017 and 2021, I published a series of 4 books based on one of my many stories, The Herd. These books are 4 parts to an entire 500-page volume(1) to an ongoing series I have planned out.
As a self-published author and artist, I've attended a number of book signings and comic conventions, to spread the word about The Herd! More book projects are in development for this year and will hopefully be ready for release in 2022. Following the dream of an entrepreneur artist!
School and Career
- I went to Durham College to get a degree in Multimedia Design.
I then went on to work at Corus Entertainment in Toronto. There I worked on projects for various networks such as YTV and Treehouse; ranging from design concepts, game development, online content, and animation sequences.
- Currently, working a career in the IT field as a Global Systems Operator, while continuing to develop projects with my Accidental Creations.
?Drawing, creating new characters, and storytelling is a dream I've always wanted to pursue professionally. After some experience in the field, and being privileged to work on some amazing projects, all I truly wanted to do was to tell my stories rather than someone else's.
It's that drive that leads me on this entrepreneur path to leave my fingerprint in the art and literary world; no matter how small a print that may be.
Accidental Creations are accidents waiting to happen!
