🐦‍⬛JOHN CROW IS TURNING 7! 🐦‍⬛

Seven years ago, a little crow landed on a card and somehow took on a life of his own.

Since then, John Crow has found his way onto greeting cards, mugs, stickers, art prints, tote bags, and more—bringing his unique blend of honesty, humour, and slightly misunderstood observations to people across our province.

To celebrate his 7th birthday, all John Crow greeting cards are 15% OFF this week!

Whether you’ve been a fan from the beginning or are just discovering him, now is a great time to stock up on your favourites.

Thank you for supporting local art, local printing, and one very funny small town crow. 🖤

Ladies- no sneezing, no coughing, no laughing and definitely no blowing out the candles! 🎂💛

🐦‍⬛Current Project

Not every branding project has an obvious visual solution.

One of the projects I’m currently developing is for The Wilson Institute for Canadian History — an organization rooted in the founder’s vision of rethinking Canadian history through a broader, more contemporary lens.

Which means all the usual go-to Canadiana history visuals are pretty much off the table. I’ll need to dig a little deeper for this one.

Projects like this require exploration before design even begins. Through questionnaires, discussion, and visual exercises, the goal is to uncover something more thoughtful, nuanced, and aligned with the organization’s mission.

Direction isn’t always linear.

A guiding idea in this work comes from the late great Walter Gretzky:
“Skate to where the puck is going, not where it is.”

It’s been an inspiring project to research and develop, and I feel genuinely grateful to be part of it.

The best branding work doesn’t come from assumptions.
It comes from understanding.

Every brand has a story.

Once the foundation is in place, the visual exploration begins—gathering references, exploring themes, and shaping a direction that feels aligned with the brand’s identity and purpose.

This stage is less about aesthetics alone and more about discovering the visual language that supports the story being told.

This is where ideas are explored.

This is where visual direction begins.
