Schimpf
I am a graphic designer who graduated last April with a diploma and will now be graduating with a degree this year. My design passions lie in creating smart and effective logos and branding that allow my client's visions and inspirations to shine through. Design is a journey that you never stop learning from, and I am inspired to think of where that path may take me. Over the pandemic, I beat my boyfriend in Mario Party and learned how to cross stitch.
Deeyana Baydala Acupuncture
Deeyana was looking for a logo that expressed her calm, down-to-earth personality, and the grounded ideologies of her acupuncture and ancient chinese medicine practice. The muted green and yellow allow for the earthy values to come through in the design, while highlighting her monogram. The square represents how everything in the body is connected and affects each other. One of these elements cannot live without the other in the design, reflecting how intertwined our body and mind is.
Stationery design including business cards, and a notepad for Deeyana to send her patients home with any information they may need.
“The Griff” Re-design
This project aimed at giving new life to the MacEwan student magazine "The Griff". This design is bold with a big personality. Harsh lines, sharp edges, and blog typography work together to create this new personality for the magazine.

The Ukrainian Shumka Dancers 60th Anniversary Program Concept
In 2019, the Ukrainian Shumka Dancers celebrated their 60th anniversary. This program concept was created for a typography class, and aims to celebrate Shumka’s last 60 years, while looking forward to the next 60. The hexagon and its 6 sides was chosen as the main shape theme to represent the incredible accomplishment that is 60 years.
A timeline featuring photos and descriptions of major events is thread through the program so readers can become educated about Shumka’s 60 year history. Photos provided by Shumka.
