MY DESIGN JOURNEY

Once upon a time in a land not-so-far away (Calgary, Canada), there was a little girl who loved doing arts & crafts and stayed up to the late hours in the night getting lost in her big dreams.

MY EDUCATION

In 2024, I graduated with a Bachelor of Communications in Information Design from Mount Royal University. It was during this time that I worked on my first branding project, sparking my passion for the brand design industry. Through the Information Design program, I also got hands-on experience in various design areas like:

Graphic Design
User Experience Design
Instructional Design
Systems-thinking & Changemaking
Memes & Social Media

WORK EXPERIENCE

For two years, I worked as a Conceptual Designer Student at ATB Financial, where I helped bring design thinking into the world of business and finance. During this time, I had the opportunity to collaborate with other students on projects aimed at finding solutions for community challenges. It was a fantastic experience that showed me the power of creative problem-solving in real-world settings!

FREELANCE JOURNEY

After years of school, work, and volunteer experience, I felt ready to take everything I’ve learned and start my journey as a freelance branding designer. My goal is to work with businesses, entrepreneurs, and creators to help their creative dreams come true! I can’t wait to bring your vision to life and create something truly special together.
