Hi! I’m a freelance art director and illustrator, based just outside Toronto ON.
I specialize in branding for start-ups, and developing the strategy and imagery, ensuring it flows visually through print materials, advertising, environmental graphics and programatic layout of space. I’m a creative thinker and I love developing resourceful and unique solutions for campaigns and promotion. On the illustration-side, my style is quite adaptable and along with my strong ideology and marketing-sense, my work translates well to book covers and event graphics. You’ll note from some of my personal projects here, I love adapt-reuse projects and working with materiality. I’ve been self-employed with my company, Ballyhoo Media for over a decade and through it have had incredible opportunities to learn and join teams as a contractor.

I’m also a Registered Graphic Designer (see RGD Ontario) and studied architecture in University. I’m also proficient in developing web strategies and working in film and animation.

Other things to check out:
- SHOP: check out to see some of my illustrations and drawings for sale to the public. I love to draw architecture, especially of my hometown Guelph and nostalgic Toronto scenes and streetcars.
- BLOG: check out some of my DIY and art projects.

Cai welcomes opportunities to collaborate, freelance and guest lecture. Please get in touch if you have something interesting!
