About Me:

Born in Ottawa Ontario and later spending 10 years in St. Louis Missouri I relocated to Toronto November 2010. I excepted a position at an exciting start-up called AdParlor where I head their design department. I specialize in web design and development but also have experience in print and branding.

When not designing websites I’m an avid guitar player that loves to perform. Some of my other interests include scooters, snowboarding, modern art, and hiking.

My wife Sara is a gallery director and photographer. She enjoys fine art, crafting, and being my full time muse.

Nice to meet you, I’m Dustin.
