She/Her
After years in human services, program development, and management, I approach design with the practicality and creativity of someone with experience combined with an awe for novelty and surprise. Focusing on illustration for design, I enjoy play, experimentation, and working with my hands to create unique solutions.
My strength is storytelling, with all the power and emotion that can connect us to what it means to be human.

Projects
Jim Walker and the MacEwan Generations Big Band - Pipe Dreams - Project Type: Branding
Winning cover design for the album Pipe Dreams. The design concept for this album is centered around a life fully lived. Lush, rich, vibrant, and full of rhythm and movement. As a legacy album for Jim Walker, he is represented prominently on the cover. The colour and shapes represent the big band, a metaphor for the people and experiences that make up a full life.
Publication Layouts - Project Type: Publication
The layout design of these articles is paired with editorial and spot illustrations to highlight the themes of the text.
Joy in Everyday Things Infographic
This infographic tracks two weeks of everyday joys. It uses bright, and cheerful colours to emulate a rainbow, a sign of hope and beauty after a storm and good fortune at the rainbow’s end. I wanted to capture the dynamic movement of life by using a flow chart that weaves and crosses but never gets tangled. By using a flow chart, I demonstrate that extreme Joy comes from mostly doing nothing.
Connected Edmonton Annual Report - Project type: Publication
The design of this report had a target audience of 25-45yr olds in mind. Yellow is a fresh, happy and vibrant color. A strategic plan centred around the idea of connectedness conveys these “yellow” ideas.
The images in the report focus on public structures of recreation and culture to public art and everyday Edmontonians. Art captures the spirit of a city like no other medium or industry.
