I have been drawing Live Caricatures at events since the beginning of 2024. I have a background in Animation, and attained a Bachelor of Arts degree in 2009 from Sheridan College’s BAA Animation program. I worked primarily as a 2D Layout Artist, Location Designer, and Storyboard revisionist in Toronto’s Animation Industry from 2010-2023. I worked on such TV series as Ever After High, Welcome To The Wayne, Numb Chucks, Camp Lake Bottom, Cyberchase, Creative Galaxy, and most recently, the Emmy Award winning series, Blues Clues & You. 

Caricatures have always been a keen interest of mine, ever since I got into the Animation program. I found it fascinating and I would be influenced primarily by two of my favourite Character Design Artists: Peter Emslie, who was also one of my teachers at Sheridan, and Stephen Silver, who designed such shows as Kim Possible, Danny Phantom, and The Clerk’s cartoon series. You can often see me at a Starbucks with my sketchbook and pens, drawing everyone I saw in line, or on the Bus or Subway trying to discreetly draw the tired commuters going home from work. I started taking Caricature commissions online during the pandemic and have had over 150 new and returning customers.

I went into the events Caricature industry in January of 2024. I have always kept that option in the back of my mind, but never knew how to break into the industry. After much research I finally started booking events and have worked scores of events in the last year. I have gained much valuable experience, as well as honed my drawing skills and I am really driven to grow my business and make a name for myself in the Events Caricature industry.
