Don't let my many hats fool you - just because I am a jack-of-all-trades does not mean I am not master of at least a few!
The scene was set with a background in Bachelor of Music and Art from Acadia University, and a Masters degree in Museum Studies from the Univeristy of Toronto.
From there I enjoyed working in many capacities in the arts: Education at the McMichael Canadian Art Collection, the Royal Ontario Museum, and the Robbin Island Museum in Cape Town, South Africa; Collections Management at the South Africa National Gallery; and Marketing at the Tafelmusik Baroque Orchestra and the Toronto Symphony Orchestra.
Then life got even richer when my two adorable little boys came onto the scene. After heading back to work for a while, I decided to take a leap and stay home with them full time - a decision that has paid me back in spades.
Never one to let a moment pass without trying to fill it with life, I founded and am still writing a design blog: www.wickedandweird.com. Writing and blogging has opened an amazing world to me, full of wonderful people and exciting opportunities. I now contribute my writing to other blogs and websites; I design websites, logos, annual reports, and much more; I provide marketing assistance and advice; and I help people design interior living spaces they adore.
I can't tell you what the next act will bring - no one has shared the script with me yet. I can, however, promise that it won't be boring.
