Graphic Design

Before I was a graphic designer, I was a musician. I earned a B.Mus. in classical voice performance and, a few years later, released an orchestral pop album. As it turns out, there are a lot of similarities between composing music and composing a layout.

I studied graphic and web design at OCAD University in Toronto, formalizing the skills I first used making covers for the mixed CDs my friend made for me (mostly Broadway musicals). From there I began freelancing, creating visual branding for small creative businesses.

Since 2018, I have been the in-house designer for a sustainable development think tank, with projects ranging from academic reports to social media videos to museum displays. My work has been presented widely, including at the World Bank and the Gates Foundation (where they asked what agency was doing this impressive work—sorry, not humble about that one). I was also part of a small team that won the Alda Centre’s Flame Challenge in the graphic category.

In 2020, I was named in CBC Manitoba’s Future 40 list for my professional work with non-profit organizations as well as my community organization as a slow fashion activist.
