About
I’m a print production coordinator working between clients and the plant floor on specifications, schedules, artwork, proofs and approvals. I have three years across print production, packaging and colour, and today I look after 25+ active client programs at TI Group, coordinating through the agencies behind brands such as Fenty Beauty, Rare Beauty, Kylie Cosmetics and Subaru.
Before that I was the colour contact on 100+ global brand programs at SGS & Co. I studied Graphic Communications Management at Toronto Metropolitan University with a concentration in packaging, where most of the projects on this site began.
