Design & creative thinking for meaningful work.

I love diving in with great people to deliver creative that communicates.

Small but mighty, the focus is on functional creative and genuine connections.

I work with individuals, small businesses, community groups, educators, and creative collaborators, designing thoughtful and useful materials that help people share what they do. Using design, illustration, and smart communication (and lots of what’s known as knowledge translation) to connect good work to the people who it’s meant for. I look forward to hearing more about your projects.
