Bringing a decade of passionate experience focused on design and user experience, Liam champions the human-centred design team and process at TWG as Creative Director. He works closely with TWG partners to define design strategy and creative direction on their projects; most recently leading the design of TSN’s first longform experience Favela United and creative direction on products built with RBC, The Canadian Film Centre, Wealthsimple, Metro News, The Globe and Mail, and many more.

Cutting his teeth in illustration and branding, then paying dues executing massive mobile projects with clients like ABC News, Red Bull and Bloomberg, Liam brings dependable thinking and design finesse to every project. Knowing digital inside and out, Liam also meditates on the digitally implicated human experience by laughing through talks at conferences like AndroidTO and NXNE Interactive.

Still finding time for other creative outlets, Liam has crafted illustrations and signage for the CNE, Osheaga, and Joe Fresh this year. Leisurely pursuits include popcorn, cats, and romantic walks through font libraries with his charming wife.
