BIOGRAPHY & DESIGN PHILOSOPHY

PORTFOLIO

I enjoy my MacBook more than I probably should. I love typography. I cringe at bad design. I love colour and organization. I primarily design using Adobe Suite but have been know to take a pencil to paper to really fine tune a concept or idea. I have been freelance designing as of late, and recently taught graphic design for 2 years at a secondary school senior level. From UBC to a local realtor, my freelance projects have given me the opportunity to work with client ideas and ideals, as well as honed my interpretation skills. My teaching position was all about being creative, showcasing orginal designs as examples, as well as designing assignments on a weekly basis. I believe that good designers are always growing. That our technical skills are sometimes more important that our creative skills, and above all else, design is art no matter what you are creating.

My technical skills, along with my creative skills are demonstrated in the pages of this design portfolio. I have attempted to showcase technical program skills along with creative examples. I have also made sure to not exaggerate my skills and abilities to save you the frustrations that go along with that. I have well-developed skills with Adobe InDesign, Photoshop and Illustrator. I can use Dreamweaver to create HTML-based websites, using and refining CSS templates. I don’t use Flash. I blog a lot. I am well-schooled in Wordpress.

I’m easy-going, good with clients and simply want to work somewhere that will embrace my creative and technical personality.

Why East Vancouver?

Where do you envision yourself living? Is it close to work, or close to your all-time favourite co� ee shop? Do you want to live close to Trout Lake so you can walk your dog? Is it important to you to have easy access to cultural events? Personally, East Vancouver has been a great � t for my preferred lifestyle. Ever since I moved here in 2001, I’ve felt inspired by not only its strong community identity, but the ease and facility of living the outdoor and eco-friendly lifestyle I care about.

Women are drawn to East Vancouver due to its charm, community feel and limitless options for dining, shopping and services. The variation of land use allows for a diverse cross section of property options ranging from new condo developments to character homes. Contact me if you’d like to explore what East Vancouver neighbourhood would be a good � t for your lifestyle.

”My goal is to make home ownership as easy and stress-free a process as possible for women everywhere”

Feeling unappreciated after years of dedicated service, Travis, Nicola and Will leave their comfortable jobs at Andersen Gold Corporation to branch out on

their own. Unbeknownst to them, their new gold mining venture will lead them straight into a sophisticated web of international deceit, scandal and corruption.

James Barclay, Laura Bach and Thomas Magnussen star in this intelligent and engrossing film that grips you all the way from its opening scene to its poignantly

shocking finale. This is a rare insider’s look at the multi-billion dollar industry everyone’s heard of, but very few know intimately.
