Worked with the company Tabl’eau and the launch of their new silicone water bottle and cup. We asked questions about the sentiments around silicone, water bottles, packaging and SWAG. We used our findings to guide our Shopify Website design and other plugins.

Happy Camper

Stratgey Card Game For Two

Having always loved board and card games pushed me to create Happy Camper with the help of Chris Adkins. The game takes inspiration from Netrunner, with original mechanics and art direction. It is unique in that it is asymmetrical- one person plays as nature, and one as the camper. Though the art is the most visible contribution, there was a lot of play-testing and spreadsheets to get the card ratios correct.

Motion Specialties

Learning Asset Design and and Fabricating Custom Solutions For Wheelchair Clients

I worked at a company called Motion Specialties for 3 years from 2017-2020! Unfortunately I had to leave because of chronic back pain, but I treasured my time there. I worked on a team to modify accessibility equipment, often for the severely disabled. There I gained experience in CAD(computer aided design) with Fusion360, machining, industrial sewing and 3d scanning. I also designed training and how-to guides and assets for the team. Posted above is one such tutorial thrown together describing how I would make footplate walls for some power chairs to prevent peoples’ feet from slipping off of the footplate into the castors/wheels.

Motion really taught me how to think on my toes- we even had to think of and build solutions while clients were waiting sometimes! As I transition into a less physical design role, I will always treasure my time at Motion and the optimism of even the most severely disabled people.

Canadian Spa Company

Communications: Sharepoint, Talent LMS, course creation, Motivosity Peer-peer recognition implementation, video editing, graphic design,

I worked at Canadian Spa Company, a major player in the hot tub industry, as a Communications Specialist. Besides maintaining their Sharepoint internal site, newsletter and email blasts, I singlehandedly implemented their first LMS (Learning Management) System and created internal courses [such as the Basic Chemicals course]. Creating the digital courses required graphic design [photoshop, Illustrator, Canva] as well as video editing and iSpring to help create SCORM LMS files with interactions and quizzes. click here to see a video of a user proceeding through a course I created

My background in Graphic design allowed me to quickly produce visual communications for website and email such as this "One Pager" sent out to customers receiving hot tubs in winter months

Never afraid to contribute with creative direction, I also helped the marketing team with my graphic design skills to mock up ideas for marketing campaigns

Visual Art

Charcoal

Traditional visual art has always been close to my heart, and a way of reducing screen-time and resting my eyes. I think there are huge opportunities to make designs this way and scan them in and manipulate them digitally as well. Simple pen and paper is a great way to make wireframes and user flows because there is less between you and the idea- to make a shape you just draw it, you don't have to worry about finding a shape tool, or aligning objects- it's freeing.

After having a child myself in 2022 and wanting to brush up on digital illustration, I created the book in March 2023 using Krita for digital illustration and Indesign. I self-published the book on amazon's platform, Kindle Direct Publishing
It was a great experience to create press-ready files including the cover/spine and an interesting look into the self publishing world

Branding & Identity

Freelance Design

I love helping companies brand or rebrand. My process is to first have a conversation about existing branding and branding examples that are preferred. We then move towards sketches fir further direction, and then to semi-final and final versions. I also like providing a mock-up of branding in action, such as on a box or business card

Slimpod Website Redesign

Graphic Design, Web Design, UX Design. See the prototype here, here

On the left was the old website- there was a lot of text, and the page was far too long. I worked to try and capture attention with larger imagery and an easier call-to-action. It was important here to retain the feel and aspects of the brand that the client wanted.
