About

Hi, Gabe btw.

I make social-first work that people actually stop for. For six years I've concepted, shot and edited content for brands like Samsung, Kraft Heinz, Visa and Canadian Tire: 55M+ views and 16 awards along the way, including a One Show Bronze Pencil and a Shorty Gold.

It started in 2004 with a $450 Olympus D-575 Zoom, a wild purchase for a seven-year-old. I also spent time as a professional chef, and I still treat a frame like mise-en-place: everything prepped, everything in its place.

That discipline got sharpened at The Kitchen (Kraft Heinz's in-house agency) and Publicis Toronto. Today I'm Content Director at Bob's Your Uncle. I can work solo, lead a lean team, or run a big production without losing the idea along the way.

Outside work: a very real Formula 1 obsession, a low-level sesame snap addiction, and a lot of KMs logged training for marathons. I also keep a list of Toronto cafes worth working from.
