A bit about me
My name is JP. I've been creating since my earliest memories. It started with hours spent drawing in sketchbook after sketchbook during my elementary school years. I then learned how to use Photoshop, and moved into basic 3D modelling, all by the age of 13. I began taking photographs on a point-and-shoot camera to document memories with family and friends. One day my high school art teacher brought his DSLR camera to class, and from there my passion for photography took off. In university, I used my co-op job earnings to buy used DJ gear and learned how to play, and I've been DJ'ing ever since. After 5 years working full-time in accounting at a major Canadian bank and getting my CPA, CA designation, I quit my corporate job to co-found a couple of businesses—one of which grew to over 20 employees, tens of thousands of customers, and $3M+ in revenues.
​
Driven by a passion for capturing life's fleeting moments, I blend creativity with entrepreneurial spirit to craft unique stories in every project I undertake.

Stuff I've done
As a lifelong creative I've worked on several projects and collaborations, both professionally and for my own enjoyment. These range in everything from music, graphic design, photography, art direction, product development, to digital marketing, events & e-commerce.
In business, I've built a marketing and technology team from the ground up, managing and working with talented people across Toronto, Calgary, Vancouver, Montreal, Melbourne, Caracas, Berlin, Guatemala City & more, growing our brand and online retail business to generate over $3M+ in revenues and thousands of loyal customers acquired within the first 3 years of operation. Prior to this I led teams at RBC Royal Bank of Canada over several global Capital Markets audit engagements in Toronto, New York, London, Paris, Madrid, Hong Kong, and Sydney.
