Hey, I’m Greg!
I grew up in both the Central and Silicon Valleys of California, but the weather was just too perfect so I moved up to Toronto.
As the son of an architect and a fashion designer, design has always been a huge force in my life. I found my niche after learning graphic design back in high school and have been pursuing it ever since.

I’m an avid film fan, and I’m a regular at movie theaters across the city.
I love making coffee, and have a pretty robust setup for pour over, espresso, and siphon brewing.

I’ve been playing Dungeons and Dragons for over a decade, both as a DM and a player.
I have an ongoing music project for 2024 where I listen to a new album every week of the year.
