Indigenous DESIGNER BIO
I am a motivated graphic designer in my final year at St. Lawrence College, with a strong foundation in creating impactful design solutions across branding, print, and web platforms. Passionate about bringing fresh ideas and perspectives to a creative team, I thrive on crafting visually compelling designs.
My journey began in fine arts, where I explored painting and drawing before realizing that graphic design was more my style. This background gives me a unique artistic perspective that informs my work. Outside of design, I have a passion for the outdoors and enjoy skiing, running, rock climbing, and skating.

Brand Identity Design 1.
Objective
This project involved designing a logo for the Halifax based restaurant “Pier Six”. Pier Six is a sophisticated yet relaxed seafood restaurant that brings the essence of the ocean to the city. With a menu centered around fresh oysters, premium seafood dishes, and carefully crafted cocktails, Pier Six offers an upscale but inviting dining experience for seafood lovers and cocktail enthusiasts alike.
Description
The logo features an abstract representation of an oyster, a nod to the restaurant’s renowned oyster bar. This design also evokes imagery of water and a sunset, reinforcing the coastal inspiration behind Pier Six. By blending these elements, the branding reflects the restaurant’s dedication to high-quality seafood while remaining accessible and family-friendly. The result is a visual identity that is fresh, vibrant, and true to the Pier Six experience—where exceptional seafood meets a warm, welcoming atmosphere.

This project involved redesigning the logo for “Imperial Theatre”. Imperial Theatre has a mission to “enrich, engage, and inspire our community through the performing arts.” This is achieved through diverse programming that balances artistic excellence, various genres and cultures, and opportunities for community engagement.

Graphic Design 5
Objective
This project involved creating a poster to promote the 2025 Kingston Canadian Film Festival, which marks its 25th anniversary. In addition to the poster, the design was adapted for four applications: two social media posts and one t-shirt design. The objective was to meet the client’s creative vision, incorporating elements that represent film, Canada, celebration, 25 years, and youth. These themes were carried through all final designs.
Description
The final design captures the journey filmmakers undertake from start to finish, illustrating the twists and turns of the creative process. It incorporates elements representing comedy, music, and film, which are key aspects of the festival’s visual identity. As such, the custom illustration also serves as a visual representation of the dynamic creative direction and experiences that take place during the festival.

Graphic Design 3
Objective
This project involved designing a cookbook, including the cover and three spreads. The objectives were to explore layouts, typography, and brand identity. For Minimal Mornings, I aimed to create a fun and simple cookbook featuring bright colours, playful illustrations, and engaging text to inspire excitement for breakfast and kickstart the day.
Description
I aimed for clean and simple designs that wouldn’t overwhelm the reader. To achieve this, I used minimalist custom illustrations that were visually appealing but not overly complex. The text was placed in a straightforward layout with minimal sections to maintain clarity. Additionally, I included “salty,” “sweet,” or “spicy” labels on the side of each page to help readers quickly find the type of recipe they’re looking for.
