About

"I design faces the way a costume designer designs silhouettes — quietly, in service of the story."

Based between Toronto and Los Angeles, I work across film, television, fashion and beauty — from period drama and prosthetic FX to editorial and campaign work.

From Guillermo del Toro's Frankenstein to Viggo Mortensen's The Dead Don't Hurt, a body of work shaped by collaboration with some of cinema's most distinctive voices.
