Design and Video

Below are design examples including style sheets, posters, web pages, and social media posts as well as short form video. I'd also encourage you to view my Instagram, YouTube, and the layout of this site overall, for more content examples. If you're curious about more of the writing side of content like this, please see my Content and Copy Writing Portfolio.

Social Media Mock-Up

UGC Intro - April 2026

I am a creator in UGC Connect's database (Canadian creators for Canadian businesses!) and this is my profile introduction video which showcases some of my editing, filming, and scripting skills as well as my topics of interest and experience.

Website Refresh - Nordic Walkffit

Website copy & design - February 2026

One of the first things I worked on for my ongoing client Nordic WalkFit was a website refresh. This included tightening up the instructor bios, finessing the copy on most other pages, and altering the layout and flow to be more scannable and accessible to viewers.

I chose to use coloured boxes instead of the previous coloured text to highlight important information. These containers allow easier scanning for the important bits. Most of my changes in copy were small but mighty: removing redundancy on the page and small copy editing changes. I tightened up the instructor bios and reformatted them to match the rest of the websites colours. I didn't think there was anything wrong per se about the grey backgrounds but they weren't being used anywhere else so they felt out of place.

 

The page that went through the biggest change was the "Fitness from Home" page where I found the flow of information felt off. A simple change in order fixed this problem. The focus of the page is Nadine's classes with TopRock so by putting Barb Gormly's website first it doesn't get lost in the bottom but it also doesn't break up the information about Top Rock and Nadine's class.

Here are some before and after images with before on the left and after on the right of each image.

Social Media Mock-Up

Instagram Posts - February 2026

I created these posts as part of a job application. There was no brief, I just wanted to showcase options specifically tailored to the company. I based my design choices on their existing Instagram and website copy and appearance. 

Two old, dirty high tops. Text reads: are your shows lacking a certain artistic flare? time for a new pair?
Text reads: What if your sleeve continued on your shoes? Shows a tattoed arm and blank sneaker.
someone ties their shoe which is covered in paint splatters. text reads: where art meets comfort.

On the hunt for some sick shoes to replace your boring old ones? Check out [redacted]'s comfortable, cruelty-free, vegan kiks featuring diverse artists' work. #SneakerHeads#ShoeLovers #ArtistsInStyle

 

*Notes* Would be great as the first slide in a carousel that showcases actual pairs of your shoes. As a single, having one dirty boring shoe and one of your shoes would be bomb.

Already covered in ink but want more? What if your shoes were designed by a tattoo artist?

 

#TattooDesign #ShoesLovers #StreetwearArt

 

*Notes* Would love to showcase a tattoo by the same artist that does the shoes and showcase the shoes in the bottom corner beside the text. Artist tagged.

Artist collaboration with durable, comfortable high tops, slip ons and low tops (and don’t forget we’ve got hats too!)

#StreetwearArt #SneakerHeads #Kickstagram

 

*Notes* Would be best with non-stock photo actually using your shoes.

Book Launch Media Kit

Media Kit - June 2025

Using illustrations from our talented cover artists, I created a variety of social media posts which could be used to advertise our book launch event. This kit includes an introduction document, suggested post copy, alt text, and graphics optimized for different platforms. It also provided the original art and a simple branding sheet for those who wanted to create their own graphics. 

The media kit is housed on a Google Drive, but here is a sample.

Right Now! (day before/day of)

Book launch happening TODAY! 📚

 

The day is finally here! Between 12 and 2pm we’ll be hanging around at The Jolly Taxpayer celebrating the launch of By the Fire: Shattered Reflections. The afternoon will feature readings from five of the stories found inside, refreshments and the chance for you to chat with the authors, editors and illustrators of the anthology.

 

We’d hope to see you there! 🎉

Text reads: Ballet Beautiful by Anna Farinaccio. “Those were the days when I was her favourite possession. Whenever a new friend would come over for a playdate, Maddie would say ‘Do you want to see my music box?’” A music box sits open with a ballerina twirling. A reflection shows the figure as being much slimmer than the figure itself.
Three colour swatches. A yellow labelled fdbc0e, a dark green labelled 3a3525, and a sallow green labelled ddc59c. Text reads: georgia bold. A filigree design border the bottom.

A Way with Words Branding

Logo and Branding Sheet - February 2025

This was a project for a design class which included a business card, resume and advertisement banner. The colour scheme is one I’ve been using for a while on Twitch and YouTube, but the logo and font choices are (mostly) new. Adobe Illustrator and InDesign were used during this project.

How-to Magazine Spread

Illustrations - February 2025

This was a group project with two other team members. The writing, layout and font choices were done by my team; the illustrations, branding sheet and colour scheme were done by me. We were going for a very goofy, very simple vibe. Simplistic and symbolic are where my illustrations shine. Illustrations were created in Illustrator.

Shhhh... I'm Reading Branding

Logo, Branding Sheet and Poster - November 2024

This was a group project with two other team members. While it was a group effort, I did create the logo (with input) and chose the colour scheme. I put together the final branding sheet. The individual parts of the project were to make a branding/promotional material, and I made a poster. Everything was created in Adobe Illustrator.
