Hi everyone! I’m so run down from being busy that I just noticed I got my dates wrong! 🙈 Here it is again for those who need to know. I AM around a bit next week! ✌️😅

I haven’t been active on here much due to everything getting back on track and staying busy this year but I thought I’d give you a heads up that I’ll be taking a little break from all the brouhaha to get some much-needed rest so I can better serve you in 2023! 🖤

I am so grateful for all of my amazing clients this year - THANK YOU for keeping my small biz afloat! What makes Hamilton so amazing, is the people who work together to sustain this wonderful community we have here. I wish you all the Happiest of Holidays and a very prosperous New Year filled with so much joy! 🎄🥂

HOLY CANNOLI!

I love you SO much Hamilton - I am always so grateful for your continued support over the years, it’s what keeps me busy and pluggin away at all this fun stuff. You’re too good to me! ✌️😘

A very dear friend of mine who I love very much is currently living with Stage 4 breast cancer and has taken it upon herself to start an amazing non-profit organization because she has been experiencing a lack of resources and peer support in her community for those going through the painful journey of living with this terrible, and very common affliction. I immediately wanted to help out - so I set to work creating branding and am lending a hand with promotional graphics.

THIS WEEKEND we are holding a car wash to help her raise funds to sustain this important endeavour so she can do the important work that is needed for people to have a one-stop shop where she can help guide you every step of the way through your experience, so you won’t have to spend so much time doing research and advocating for yourself as she’s had to painfully go through.

PLEASE JOIN US IF YOU ARE ABLE and help us get this important resource off the ground and running!

And PLEASE FOLLOW and donate your time, resources or funds if you can! Together we can make a difference in people’s lives, and hopefully alleviate even a fraction of the stress they are currently experiencing. 💖 HOPE TO SEE YOU THERE!

“Breast Cancer Burlington is dedicated to provide additional information, peer support and health and wellness resources outside of your medical support. We would like to be a hub for women in our community that are in need of help through their individual Breast Cancer Journey. Our mission is create thorough breast health awareness through better education and access.”

Whether your business is large or small, you want to start with your logo and create the most effective branding possible to start you off on the right path towards success. Nothing catches your customers’ attention better than a well-executed logo design.

Here’s an example of a logo I designed for a very talented maker, who creates products that help soothe the body and mind in a holistic way and needed a modern revamp of their previous logo - we worked together to create a soft, lovely image of serenity and peace, with lavender hues and feminine lines and type to really target their audience and capture the essence of how their products will make you feel while using them.

Here Are 8 Powerful Tips For Effective Logo Design To Consider:

• Have a focused purpose for your brand
• Make sure the logo reflects your business, not just an aesthetic choice
• Make a great first impression by illustrating what you do in the simplest way possible so people can see what your business is about right off the bat
• The use of colours should be made with purpose - colour is linked to how people psychologically perceive your brand
• Fonts are VERY important and must be chosen carefully
• Make it scalable - if you don’t have a vector file, you’ll likely run into issues pretty quickly when it comes to using your logo in various ways
• Keep it simple

Does your brand need a facelift, or are you starting from scratch? I’d love to lend a hand - with my expert skills in branding and the psychology behind design, I can help you create a fresh logo with lasting appeal to your audience.

All set up to start a new business and don't know where to begin? Don't wait until you're set up to invest in your branding - while you may feel like you’re saving time currently, ignoring your brand identity right off the bat only causes more headaches in the future.

There is a common mindset among small business owners who focus on marketing and selling but forget that their company is both a business AND a brand. With a lack of clear branding, you’ll get more questions than sales, your potential customers won’t be clear on what you’re all about, and people will end up buying from your competition.

Your brand identity is more than just your logo. It’s more than style guides, marketing materials, or colour palettes. It is the culmination of how your brand looks, feels, and speaks to customers. It influences the entire customer experience and ultimately affects how others view your credibility and business.

I can help you create a strong branding identity - and even guide you through your carefully planned research if you don't know where to start - and help you create a brand that will stand the test of time.

This past year has truly tested and challenged us in so many ways - but I’m so happy to see so many of our small businesses hanging in there, doing their best to stay adaptable, keep strong community ties and working together.

I personally would never have survived this year without each and every one of my amazing clients - I am so very grateful that I’ve made it this far with my little enterprise, and I wish you all the greatest love, health, opportunities for growth and prosperity to you, your loved ones, and the entire community. Together we are stronger and can endure anything that comes our way. 🥂🖤🥂 Here’s to a whole new year to make things happen!

Just a quick little post to note that I’ll be shutting down for the holidays, with limited hours on Dec. 29th and 30th in case you have some last-minute graphics you need. I’m always happy to help - feel free to send me an email and let’s make some magic happen for you!

In the meantime, I hope you and your loved ones have a very warm and wonderful holiday season full of cheer, and that you take full advantage of this time to relax and enjoy all of the things you love - you deserve it! ✨🖤✨

2020 has been a rollercoaster to say the least - but I’m super happy to see that so many of my amazing clients are finding a way to pivot how they function so they can continue to showcase their incredible talents - like my friends & ! This was a super dope livestream f’reals!

We can’t cancel culture - that’s for sure. Though I dearly miss the excitement and energy of live events, it’s been very cool to see how fellow event organizers and DJs have been able to keep the vibe alive and bring the party straight into our living rooms.

I’ve been offering specially lowered rates for event organizers to be able to promote their online events during this COVID crisis, since the monetization of live events has taken a huge hit and they still need to maximize their potential to continue to make ends meet - so if you’re planning an online event and need graphics for your social platforms and website, let’s sit down and chat and see how I can help you bring a more polished and professional appearance at a fraction of the usual cost so you can get back to creating necessary moments of levity and joy for everyone. ❤️ We’re all in this together. Let’s make some fun happen.

HOLY CANNOLI - didn’t expect this lovely surprise this morning! Thanks so much for all the love and support yet again Hamilton!

As a freelance designer working all on my lonesome, it’s been amazing to be so involved in the community and maintain a great rapport of cooperation with everyone - even through this pandemic! I am so grateful to have been once again chosen as one of your favourites in the latest Readers’ Choice Awards - and I couldn’t have done it without all of YOU!

🖤🥂🖤

A big big CONGRATS also goes out to all my friends and collegues, clients and acquaintances that have also won in their fields - the sheer amount of excellence in this city is absolutely amazing - our community ROCKS!

It all started with a design inspiration blog on Wordpress and a handful of friends who needed graphics… 10 years later that seed grew into this little biz that’s kept me surviving throughout the ebbs and flows of this thing called life.

I couldn’t have gotten to where I am without the incredible support from my friends, family, colleagues and the amazing clients that have come along for the journey. Today I not only celebrate this milestone - I celebrate each and every one of YOU in this community who’ve helped me achieve my dream of working for myself over the past decade. Without your referrals, your motivating words of encouragement, the awesome amounts of inspiration I’ve gleaned from you, and all the trials and tribulations that come with growth, I would not be standing where I am at this moment in time.

With all the gratitude in my heart - THANK YOU.
🥂🖤🥂
