Creative Digital Solutions
Graphic Design
I am proficient in full Adobe Creative Suite: InDesign for publication design, Photoshop for image manipulation, and Illustrator for almost everything.
Marketing
Cultural Studies is the study of human behaviour and cultural perception. The practical application of this is, quite often, excellent marketing.
Publishing
I have designed books and provided authors with the research they need to complete their projects. I have also been a photo editor on two projects to date.
Producing
I founded an electronic music festival in Kingston, ON. With this collective, I’m responsible for programming, marketing and grant writing.
My Credo:
The "global village" in which we supposedly live is given lip service every day, but do we actually treat each other like neighbours? I strive to treat every client as a friend. I care about your project and I will go that extra mile to make sure you are happy to work with me. In the past seven years, I have learned that providing deliverables in a timely and thorough fashion is only part of the job: you have to create an enjoyable atmosphere while you do it. That is why my clients come back to me year after year.

Sugar: It’s Not Sex, It’s Security
It never occurred to me, when I was pregnant, that I would one day have to taste my own breastmilk. See, you need to pump and store milk for your baby so that you can have a life: attend the festival you produced, for example, or make it to client meetings. To test whether or Read more about Sugar: It’s Not Sex, It’s Security[…]
