About

With a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Fine/Studio Arts from OCAD University, I have honed my skills as a visual and tattoo artist. My journey began as a self-employed visual artist in 2016, where I consulted with clients to create custom artwork and tattoo designs. I expanded my expertise as a tattoo artist at Phat Buddha Tattoos from 2022 to 2024, focusing on client consultations and maintaining a safe work environment. Currently, I am a tattoo artist at Rotten Ink Tattoo and Piercing Studio, where I schedule appointments, discuss pricing, and provide aftercare instructions to clients. My experience also includes a role as a Distribution Services Monitor at OCAD University, where I managed administrative tasks and provided excellent customer service. I am committed to continuously learning new art methods and styles to enhance my artistic skills.
