DESIGNER BIO

Through my experience working with Deaf and blind individuals, I discovered that I want my graphic design career to focus on non-profit organizations. That experience showed me how powerful, thoughtful, and accessible design can be in improving people’s lives. It taught me the importance of clarity, inclusivity, and usability—designing not just to look good, but to truly serve a purpose.

I am especially passionate about logo design, UX/UI design, and usability testing. I enjoy creating strong visual identities that reflect meaningful missions, as well as designing digital experiences that are intuitive and accessible to all users. For me, design is more than aesthetics—it is about creating tools that support communities, remove barriers, and make a real difference.

LIVING OCEANS SOCIETY

COURSE

Brand Identity Design 2 

OBJECTIVE

Living Oceans Society is a Canadian non-profit that protects marine life and ocean ecosystems along Canada’s West Coast. They focus on conservation, sustainable fishing, and safeguarding wildlife like orcas and salmon to ensure a healthy Pacific Ocean. Their original logo lacked clarity, strong design, and visual impact. The colours and overall quality did not reflect their environmental mission or the important conservation work they do. 

DESCRIPTION

The Living Ocean Society rebrand focused on creating a stronger, more modern visual identity that reflects the organization’s commitment to ocean conservation and sustainability. The goal was to refine the brand so it feels professional, trustworthy, and impactful while still representing the movement and energy of the ocean.
