My day job


I had countless sleepless nights trying to envision the final product to ensure that it would all be just right.

I’m not sure why I don’t often talk about or really let you in on what I do during the day. I think it might be mainly because of a fear or really putting myself out there. Well, I guess working on a national ad campaign and have it appear in nine different Canadian magazines, I’ve had to bite the bullet and just let go.

Thanks to a team of truly incredible professionals, we all came together and made a dream of mine happen.

And I promise over the next few weeks, I will show you more of what I have done and what I do because you’ve been there for me. I talk about design and how important it is to me yet never really share that part of my life with you. You can see the entire campaign by flipping through either your October issue of House & Home or Style at Home among others, but for now, here’s to new beginnings.

The shows - ICFF, NSS & Surtex

Design is at the core of who I am and what I do, day in and day out. When I walked into the Javits Convention Center, I wasn’t there to find out what or who was the next big thing in design. I wasn’t taking notes about any of the latest technologies or who had the most impressive booth. I was there to see and experience design in my own way. The International Contemporary Furniture Fair, the National Stationery Show and Surtex were all under one roof and through my camera lens, I took it all in.

With texture, contrast, pattern, shapes and colour everywhere, I couldn’t have been any more in my element.

Design week in New York

New York’s ears must be ringing by now as everyone who has a love for design has been talking about this city for weeks. So many incredible shows and events will be going on beginning this weekend and I’ve been lucky enough this year to be able see it all unfold.

The International Contemporary Furniture Fair, the National Stationery Show and new this year, Kravet’s own Blogfest 2011 are among some of the places and spaces I will visit.

I will be sharing my journey through blog posts and tweets and will do my best to let you in on all the design deliciousness I will be privy to. I cannot even begin to describe the excitement I am feeling. This trip will be something I won’t ever forget, the main reason being that the people I will be surrounded by are the peers and mentors I hold close to my creative heart. This is going to be good, very good.
