About Re

I am a creative designer based in Comox Valley of Vancouver Island, BC. I love to focus on branding, print assets, email, social media and websites. My creative history includes studies in fine art & photography, as well as a diploma in graphic design and digital media.

I have worked in agencies, in-house, freelance, both in-office and remote environments.  I’ve collaborated with copywriters, web developers, social media coordinators and marketing teams to complete projects according to client specs, timeline and budget.

Outside of design, I teach rollerskating, play Roller Derby, hike and explore Vancouver Island.

My strengths are organization, seeing the bigger picture and designing for specific purpose and usability. This means I embrace a challenge and have the right skills and talent to see a project from concept through completion. I offer 25+ years experience to find clean, simple & creative solutions to business needs.
