Small but mighty, the focus is on functional creative and genuine connections.
I work with individuals, small businesses, community groups, educators, and creative collaborators, designing thoughtful and useful materials that help people share what they do. Using design, illustration, and smart communication (and lots of what’s known as knowledge translation) to connect good work to the people who it’s meant for. I look forward to hearing more about your projects.

My work brings together graphic design, illustration, communication, and creative thinking. Some projects start simple and others we just dive into! Whether it’s a toolkit, annual report, learning resource, campaign, signage, or something entirely different. The work changes which is creative and interesting. The process of understanding what is needed, who it is for, and how it can connect with people stays the same.
Much of my work happens in research and healthcare, where communication often involves complex information, multiple audiences, and real-world implementation. Knowledge translation is a natural part of my work, but the same ideas of good communication extends to community organizations, educators, businesses, corporate teams, and independent organizations.
Services include illustration, graphic design, research communication, knowledge translation, messaging, content development, websites, annual reports, infographics, campaigns, social media, learning resources, signage, trade and display, print and packaging, creative direction, and project management.
