through my twenty-ish years workin

g in and out of TheCore (downown Calgary, Alberta), within the exhilerating advertising & design world, working with clients such as Travel Alberta, ATCO, The Calgary Stampede, Smitty’s, etc. which I must say, was an absolute blast and beyond beneficial in experience and skill development, but it never inspired my creative side the way my spare time freelance business did. Using my evenings and weekends, meeting with regular people who had big dreams, helping them, to create professional hand-crafted logos for their small up and coming, local businesses, was where my servant heart and passion came alive. With many changes in the world, the workforce, raising a child in a big city, so so many factors, 2022 marked the year my family and I picked up all that we owned, and left everything we knew, taking a massive leap of faith we landed in a small rural town in central Alberta, looking for community.And now, after two years and feeling somewhat settled in, I hope to bring my expertise, untamed creativity, and fresh perspective to Flagstaff County and surrounding towns, to create beautiful, cohesive and strategic brands that reflect you and your rural business from the inside out. I cannot wait to meet with you all, and be a part of your path in this world. This is where I know my family is meant to be, where our hearts have found a home.

The Story Of The 2nd Most Iconic Smile In The World.

Harvey Ross Ball, a graphic designer from Worcester, Massachusetts, is credited with inventing the iconic smiley face in 1963.
Ball came up with the image in 1963 when he was commissioned to create a graphic to raise morale among the employees of an insurance company after a series of difficult mergers and acquisitions. Ball finished the design in less than 10 minutes and was paid $45 for his work. The State Mutual Life Assurance Company (now Allmerica Financial Corporation) made posters, buttons, and signs adorned with the jaundiced grin in the attempt to get their employees to smile more. It’s uncertain whether or not the new logo boosted morale, but the smiling face was an immediate hit and the company produced thousands of buttons. The image proliferated and was of course endlessly imitated but according to Bill Wallace, Executive Director of the Worcester Historical Museum, the authentic Harvey Ball-designed smiley face could always be identified by its distinguishing features: the eyes are narrow ovals, one larger than the other, and the mouth is not a perfect arc but “almost like a Mona Lisa Mouth.”

Neither Ball nor State Mutual tried to trademark or copyright the design.

I can’t tell you how much I love packaging!!!

From the designer in me, to my complete love of all things squirrel, an obsessing really. I find this the best thing ever!

Not normally swayed by packaging but this is pretty brilliant. Credit: Soul Alchemy.

This branding project was one after my own heart.

From our photoshoot in the early 1900’s vintage home turned cafe, to the incredibly unique facial treatment system that incorporates the wisdom of ancient methods with modern noninvasive technology, to the passion and beauty behind this client that 100% trusts my knowledge, skill and experience to bring her personality and vision for her new venture, to life. This project was destined to be some of my most proud work.

Thank you Skën Rejuvenation for allowing me to be such an important part of your journey.
