about me
I am a creative problem solver.
I am an Edmonton-based Designer with over ten years
of experience solving creative challenges - one design
at a time.
Annual reports. Done it. Advertising campaigns - several.
An athletics brand? Yup, did that too. I’ve also created short-form commercials, websites, billboards and even
created a design for a hospital unit.
All this to say, if it involves a creative challenge that forces me
to research, strategize, re-imagine possibilites and
collaborate with others- I’m there.
I have built my career working for large companies and
organizations as a Designer and Art Director, or as I prefer
to call it: a creative problem solver.
I’m a big-picture thinker and thrive on finding strategic,
creative solutions that inform, engage and connect with
audiences. My greatest passion is seeing a concept come
to life and connect with an audiences and make an impact.
I hope you like what you see!

Campaign
Advertising
Concordia University of Edmonton is a post-secondary institution based in Edmonton Alberta. During my time as Graphic Designer at CUE, I developed all the printed and digital collateral for the University.
I expanded the visual brand by introducing a vibrant
colour palette and eye-catching type to make the
brand more dynamic, approachable and appealing
to prospective students..
This new visual identity was applied across various
platforms - both print and digital. Some of the collateral included printed program brochures, Open House campaign posters, bus shelters and billboards,
and a new website.

Brand Identity
Development
Since 2018, I have been working with FSEAP - an employee assistance program provider based in Ottawa. FSEAP had
an existing logo but needed to refesh their brand identity
in order to be competitive in the markeplace. They wanted to utilize their exisiting logo colour - red, but create a brand that was dynamic, friendly, vibrant and approachable.
The result is a fresh and modern brand that appeals
to a wide audience and whose graphic elements can
be applied across multiple mediums as needed.

Web Design
Coventry Homes is an Edmonton-based home builder who specializes in
single-family homes. Coventry’s old website was outdated and not user friendly, making it challenging for visitors to find key information and not very engaging.
The new design is vibrant, clean and professional. By adding beautiful video of Coventry’s showhomes and creating a more streamlined UI, the website now functions better and has yielded longer visits by users.Coventry Homes is an Edmonton-based home builder who specializes in single-family homes.

The goal was to update the aesthetic of the site, increase the time our visitors spent on the site, as well as incorporate a new virtual design tool to engage users.

Design
Covenant Health is a health care provider offering care for Albertans based on
Catholic values. Every year Covenant Health releases a Report to the Community which highlights key themes for the year, accomplishments and financial overview.
I was responsible for the creative direction and production of the 2015 report.
I designed compact printed piece that was minimalist in nature, while still including
all the necessary information. The goal was to create a piece that would engage readers, and act as a keepsake for staff. The result was a small 6” x 6” piece that folds out and includes a tear-out piece highlighting the theme for the year - Covenant Health’s Strategic Direction.

Digital Advertising
COVENTRY HOMES Free basements
Coventry Homes needed to create a new advertising campaign to promote a free-basement initiative. This was
a recurring campaign which needed a refresh in order to increase awareness and drive leads.
I led the creative on this campaign and decided to re-brand basements from scary, messy and outdated spaces, to warm, functional, beautiful havens for homeowners. Using a bit of humor, I utilized video and still images to create a series of digital ads that were used on social media, YouTube and in dynamic advertising. These ads were successful in increasing engagement, driving more leads and increasing conversions.

COVENTRY HOMES FANCAVE launch
Coventry Homes launched a new FanCave in February 2023 and to promote the launch, we created a campaign featuring the new space and the Ultimate Getaway contest.
There were multiple digital assets which I was responsible for creating, which included a SportsNet TV drop-in, multiple large format video screens in Rogers Place, as well as a series of digital advertisements across social media platforms, YouTube and our dynamic advertising platforms.

GREY NUNS HOSPITAL
Covenant Health's Norther Alberta Vascular Unit is a
specialized unit that serves patients from across the province.
The unit is located inside the Grey Nuns Hospital and as
a new and unique addition, they were seeking to re-design the unit in order to differentiate it from other units and make the patient experience a more positive one.
Working alongside a team of surgeons and unit staff, as well as an Interior Designer, I developed a concept that is more
welcoming and warm for patients. I designed a wayfinding
system that makes it easier to navigate the space for both
staff and patients alike.

COVENTRY HOMES FANCAVE
This was a design I did for a Coventry Homes FanCave. Coventry Homes wanted the feel of the training space
to be energetic, clean and modern. Using Coventry Homes’ signature triangles as a neutral backdrop, I created a custom mural from various images and Oilers brand elements.
To finish off the space, I also designed a half-dot pattern
for the large glass window to tie in the look of the mural
and serve as a safety feature on the glass.
