What do you do?
I am an art director/designer at Cossette in Vancouver.
I appreciate that the creative community in Vancouver is not driven by ego. Amazing work comes out of this city all the time. Whether it is done quietly or is well promoted, it feels as though people are in it for the right reasons. I find that really refreshing and motivating.
I have worked with so many talented photographers, designers and illustrators in Vancouver. I know there are so many more out there and would love to find out about them.
My portfolio site is terribly out of date…so much so that I'm not even missmartens anymore. My husband and I keep a blog of our side projects orangebike.tomfroese.com. The fastest way to get in touch is through email at [email protected]
