About

I love making things, and really, really enjoy the process of taking an idea and turning it into something you can touch, stare at, play with, listen to, or experience.

I’m a Toronto-based creative producer and multidisciplinary visual artist. I founded Leek, where I develop and produce work across commercial, nonprofit, and independent spaces.
