Bonnie started off studying Architecture and Art History at Carleton University in Ottawa, and then went on to study Fashion Design at Ryerson University graduating from a degree program. Her background is mixed with a Japanese Canadian mother and a Scottish/German father, and she draws from these diverse cultures in her designs.
She has designed for both television and film ranging from comedy (I, Martin Short Goes Home, and Man Seeking Woman Season 1) to love stories (Pretend We're Kissing), to gritty realism (22 Chaser, Cardinal, and Riot Girls). Most recently, Bonnie has done several shows based on youth culture (Prom Pact for Disney, J-Team for Nickelodeon, and Are You Afraid of the Dark for Nickelodeon, and also Warigami for CBC).
I am grateful to be doing what I love, with each production bringing new challenges, giving every show, no matter how big or small, all of my expertise, experience and excitement.
