Indigenous DESIGNER BIO
.jpg)
I’m a Kingston-based graphic designer who serves the people and places that make Canadian arts and culture
thrive: local businesses, theatres, nonprofits, and parishes. I’m known for taking initiative and showing up ready
for any context, whether it’s a quick poster, a visual identity, or anything in between.
Being Deaf has made me focus on design that’s clear, accessible, and fitted to each project. People also tell me
I’m a great listener—make of that what you will. Always out and about in Kingston’s art and cultural scene, I’m
deeply connected to the community I love to serve. If that sounds like a good fit, let’s chat!
ROOT RIOT
COURSE
Brand Identity Design 1 & Interaction Design 3
OBJECTIVE
Create a brand identity and e-commerce website for Root Riot.
DESCRIPTION
Root Riot is an offbeat plant retailer for real-life plant parents who know growth involves a few casualties. Using
a skull emblem and graveyard-inspired plant markers, the brand reframes overwatering and pet-related mishaps
as part of the process. Across a cohesive logo, website, plant tags, and packaging
stickers, the identity speaks to students and apartment dwellers who want
approachable, low-pressure greenery.
SIGN SIGN
COURSE
Interaction Design 3
OBJECTIVE
Design an educational app of choice that aligns with Ontario’s learning curriculum for Grades 6-12.
DESCRIPTION
Sign Sign is an educational ASL app where the user can learn contemporary songs line-for-line from English to
ASL in a gamified experience that merges music with Deaf culture. At the end of each session, the user can
perform a recording of the song in ASL that then can be reviewed and shared.
PACKAGE REDESIGN
COURSE
Graphic Design 4
OBJECTIVE
Redesign a package of an existing product and develop a integrated
marketing campaign (IMC).
DESCRIPTION
Hikari’s Sinking Wafers, a product for catfish and other “bottom feeders”, is reintroduced in refillable puck form,
promoting convenience and sustainability. The IMC includes a coupon and social media touchpoints that appeals
to niche audiences, including hobby fish keepers, “aquascaping” enthusiasts, and aquatics influencers online.
