How We Can Work Together

As a graduate of the Creative Writing program at The University of Victoria (UVic) and the Graphic Design program at The British Columbia Institute of Technology (BCIT), I have a trained eye for impactful writing and design that work harmoniously. Additionally, I have experience in podcasting and photography. This confluence of media skills has equipped me to offer integrated marketing services curated to your business.

Wondering where to start to level up your business? On this page I outline (1) brand and marketing packages and (2) ways we can work together on an ongoing basis. If you are launching a new business, I have intentionally designed this page so that you can start with a logo design (at the top) and work your way down the page to fully build your brand with help from a professional.
