...be crazy enough to believe it's possible, and then celebrate it.
what makes you odd
makes you awesome!
I love that you are here!
After spending 20+ years helping the big businesses stay big, I learned that it is much more gratifying to support local business owners to find their way, build their businesses and realize their dreams (which also inadvertently, helps me reach my dreams).
I also keep it lean, while I am always here, I source and collaborate with other practitioners when needed. Keeping overall costs affordable, while offering a much-needed, approachable, service was key to my business.
I am the 'do-er' not just the thinker (but I do love behavioural economics), love stats and numbers and quotes... and believe that while theory is excellent, intuition can make for innovation. I am a big fan of school and went to Mount Royal University (Web Design, Print Design), SAIT College (Marketing, Digital Communications), and ACAD (Typography + graphic design), and still keep up with various online classes and courses.
So with all of that said... I am probably not like that agency you met in Calgary or like your cousin's friend that does design. I am a little more casual, love the 90s, and work hard. I love to collect old types (led and wood block), swatch watches, and fun pins. I believe music and working out are great mood changers and nothing, not even AI, can replace true creativity!
