Knauer
I am a designer and photographer with a simple desire to make things look nice and to convey the beauty in life. I find inspiration in the people around me as well as my environment, striving for connection, depth and balance.
Over the pandemic, I kept myself sane with the calm distraction of reading, learning, and the process of creation.
I am focused on my art and love to provide creative direction for brands and projects. Over the last 5 years, I have honed my creative and personal skills and am now ready to confidently add my mark in the design industry.

Moments in time
Photography has always been ingrained into my life and a way for me to freeze moments to enjoy it a little longer. My experience at MacEwan allowed me to explore my creativity through a lens and to continually refine my aesthetic in the studio.

Arcadia Brewing Co.
I collaborated with Arcadia Brewing on this concept for a trio of beers for the opening of their new brewery. It wasn’t embraced in final production but was one of my favourite projects that I've personally had the chance to work on.
Each element on the label has a specific message that I wanted to be conveyed which is explained through the graphic toolkit.
Designed wheat-head logo and color palettes for the labels.

Griff Magazine Redesign
I have worked at the Griff over the last couple of years as a journalist and as a layout designer for the magazine. During my time with the Griff, I wrote various arts and cultural articles and had the opportunity to interview a handful of international touring musicians whom I admire.
In this project, I’ve compiled all of the original content that I have written with the Griff and reimagined a new conceptual look for the magazine.
