I provide huge value to my clients by being an expert in two core services – websites and branding. I help companies creating brands that resonate with their target audience. I can work with you to define the essence of what you do, why you do it, and who it serves. Having a solid foundation is a must to create a consistent brand identity. My branding process begins with discovery, where I work closely with you to align the brand, its purpose, and the needs of its audience, and establish brand attributes – essentially designing with words. From there, I work my way up through visual translation to a solution that solves the problem. Drawing on years of formal design education and professional experience, this tried and tested framework has led to many successful branding and rebranding projects.

I design corporate and editorial documents, and I use automation to do it faster than most. With XML, data merge, and custom scripting in InDesign, I produce high-volume catalogues, reports, and brochures with total accuracy across every page. Work that would normally take a month, I can deliver in just a few days. With 15+ years in editorial and publication design, I've worked with clients ranging from enterprise software companies to organizations serving First Nations communities across Canada. My work covers annual reports, product catalogues, corporate brochures, one-pagers, infographics, and long-form case studies. What sets my work apart: Accessibility built in. Every document follows proper heading structure, tagging, and reading order, meeting WCAG 2.0 AA and AODA requirements so your content works for screen readers and satisfies compliance needs. This isn't an afterthought; it's part of how I build. Automation that saves you weeks. I work with XML and InDesign data merge to produce high-volume, data-driven documents. A catalogue or report that would normally take a month can be built in a day. I regularly produce 50+ documents per month for a single client, with full consistency across every page. Brand consistency at scale. Whether it's one brochure or a hundred-document system, every piece stays aligned to your guidelines. I work fully online through a clear brief process, so you get professional results without long calls or back-and-forth. If you have a document project, send me the details and I'll tell you exactly how I'd approach it.
