WORK
2002 - Present > Freelance
I have worked on many different types of projects over the years.
However, most of my freelance work consists of commercial spots at
the national level. I have done varied projects as a short and long form
editor and producer; however, most of the projects I have done utilize my skills
as a broadcast designer. I have found though, that all my skill sets are used
regardless of the expected medium. Having these varied skill sets has kept my
clients happy as there is a great deal of added value, allowing me to work with
greater autonomy. My client list includes companies such as Snapple, CD Plus,
Nine West, Freshlook, Random House and Secret.
2001 - 2008 > CHUM Television
Design: Photoshop, Illustrator,
InDesign, After Effects
During my years with CHUM in Toronto I was the senior editor for post for my
department, handling post-production needs for several CHUM stations,
CHUM Television International, CHUM Corporate and IdeaCity.
While many of my duties involved creating show opens and elements, promos,
commercials and station branding related materials, I also handled
producing and editing duties for many of the short and long form edit projects,
DVD design and authoring, script writing, and directing and overseeing shoots
from time to time. As well, I was responsible for supervising much of the post
work done by our roster of freelancers that were hired for various projects.
I was involved in the creative concept and execution of an array of projects and
would routinely work closely with clients, producers and other departments.
However, many of the projects would be handled entirely by myself from
concept through to delivery.

I was with The New RO in Ottawa for just over two years. In that time, I was
responsible for editing and creating motion graphics for the promotions and
sales departments. When I started at The New RO, I was responsible for
editing many of their promotions and commercials, as well as creating some
of the on-air graphics but grew to become an influential part of the promotions
and sales teams. When I left The NewRO, I was responsible for much of the
motion graphics created for promotions and sales.

I started teaching at Algonquin College about six months after I graduated

Television Broadcasting department. As well, I taught Digital Animation students
about editing and motion graphics for new media.

covered most of the post-production for the company. I was responsible for the

CTV’s Sportsnet called, “Kardio Knockout”
